Topics in Particle and Dispersion Science

Literature survey: 02 June 2007

• Absorption measurements with PSICAM
  • of chromophoric matter in seawater (Röttgers R et al 2007b)
  • of marine phytoplankton in suspension (Röttgers R et al 2007a)
  • See also these key references on PSICAM:
    • testing of a prototype: Röttgers R et al 2005
    • theory and analysis: Leathers RA et al 2000
    • concept: Kirk JTO 1997
• Dynamic image analysis
  • of sedimentary particles (Tysmans D et al 2007)
• Flow cytometry
  • Micromachined multi-aperture Coulter counter for high-throughput counting and for differentiating particles based on their surface charge (Zhe J et al 2007)
    • See also Jagtani AV et al 2006b, Zhang Z et al 2005
  • Optical gradient flow focusing for flow-cytometry (Zhao Y et al 2007) - an alternative to hydrodynamic focusing (for example, Kachel V 1979)
• Fournier-Forand phase function
  • enhanced to improve the approximation of realistic phase functions in the back-scattering angular range (Fournier GR 2007)
• Rayleigh-Gans approximation
  • found useful for understanding backscattering from disk-like particles with thickness ≤ ~0.2 wavelength of light (Gordon HR 2007)
• Trapping and guiding of particles
  • Miniaturized parabolic mirror-based trap arrays (Merenda F et al 2007)
  • Linear chains of micron sized particles in fluid can be easily assembled and positioned by using the evanescent field over a waveguide transmitting counter-propagating light waves (Grujic and Hellesø 2007)
    • See also Particle trapping/guiding by evanescent light waves
  • Dielectrophotoretic manipulator with optically controlled fixed-electrode pattern (Ohta AT et al 2007)
    • See also Optical-dielectrophoretic particle manipulation
