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 15):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the portion of the plurality of capped particles deposited on the substrate comprises two or more capped particles, with each of the portion of the plurality of capped particles deposited on the substrate being bonded to at least one of the other capped particles comprising the portion of the plurality of capped particles deposited on the substrate, and wherein the bonding comprises an electrostatic force, a depletion attraction, a van der Waals force, or combinations thereof.
