Abstract:
Disclosed herein are methods comprising illuminating a first location of an optothermal substrate with electromagnetic radiation, wherein the optothermal substrate converts at least a portion of the electromagnetic radiation into thermal energy. The optothermal substrate can be in thermal contact with a liquid sample comprising a plurality of capped particles and a plurality of surfactant micelles, the liquid sample having a first temperature. The methods can further comprise generating a confinement region at a location in the liquid sample proximate to the first location of the optothermal substrate, wherein at least a portion of the confinement region has a second temperature that is greater than the first temperature such that the confinement region is bound by a temperature gradient. The methods can further comprise trapping and depositing at least a portion of the plurality of capped particles.

Claim (Index 14):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the portion of the plurality of capped particles deposited on the substrate are immobilized on the optothermal substrate by electrostatic attraction, depletion attraction, van der Waals force, or a combination thereof.
