Levitation of air-borne strong-absorbing nanoparticle clusters dominated by photophorestic force and migration behavior under thermophorestic force

为了探索空气中强吸收纳米粒子团簇在激光作用下的悬浮以及迁移行为,提出采用反向传输的双贝塞尔光束对纳米粒子团簇进行捕获及悬浮,而后释放团簇,观察和计算分析团簇的迁移行为.两束贝塞尔光束由锥透镜和偏振分光方式产生,进行反向水平布置,形成三维光阱,光阱刚度可通过调节两束贝塞尔光束的功率比进行控制.悬浮室内的粒子通过微弱气流进行流化,而后被光阱捕获和悬浮.采用高速摄像仪对团簇的悬浮及迁移过程进行记录,然后通过图像分析来获取粒子运动参数.以强吸收性超细煤粉粒子团簇为对象,首先对其进行悬浮和释放迁移的实验研究,而后对团簇所受的光泳力、重力、浮力、曳力以及热泳力进行计算和分析.实验和计算的结果表明:强吸收性纳米粒子团簇在激光作用下产生的光泳力占主导作用;团簇能够被稳定地悬浮在反向传输的双贝塞尔光束形成的三维势阱中,通过调整悬浮的位置而达到与重力、浮力、曳力等的动态平衡;利用悬浮的相对不稳定度分析评价强吸收性粒子团簇的稳定性,超细煤粉粒子团簇的最小相对不稳定度可达0.075;通过对团簇释放后的高速图像进行分析,可获得团簇的迁移运动参数,从而测量出团簇所受的热泳力;对于等效粒径为13—21μm的超细煤粉粒子团簇,其热泳力量级为10-11—10-10N,随着团簇粒径的增大,热泳力线性增大,与理论计算结果趋势一致.通过利用激光对粒子进行悬浮和释放的方式为热泳力的测量和研究提供了一种新的研究思路,也为气体介质中粒子的控制和输运展现了一种新的操控手段.

In order to explore the levitation and migration behavior of strongly absorbing nanoparticle clusters in air by using laser technique,in this study trapping and levitating nanoparticle clusters is proposed based on the counter-propagated bi-Bessel beams,and then the clusters are released to observe and analyze their migration behaviors.Two Bessel beams are generated by a conical lens and polarizing beam splitter,arranged horizontally in reverse to form a three-dimensional optical trap.The st iffness of the optical trap can be controlled by adjusting the power ratio of the two Bessel beams.The particles in the levitation chamber are fluidized through weak airflow,and then captured and levitated by a light trap.A high-speed camera is used to record the levitation and migration process of clusters.The particle motion parameters can be obtained through image analysis.The strong-absorbing ultrafine coal particle clusters are first selected to conduct the experiments on their levitation and release migration.Then,the photophorestic force,gravity,buoyancy,drag force,and thermophores tic force acting on the clusters are calculated and analyzed.The experimental and computational results indicate that the photophorestic force of air-borne strong-absorbing nanoparticle clusters generated by laser illumination dominates the levitation;nanoparticle clusters can be stably levitated in a three-dimensional potential well formed by counter-propagated bi-Bessel beams,achieving dynamic equilibrium with gravity,buoyancy,drag,etc.by adjusting the levitation position.The relative instability parameter of levitation is used to evaluate the stability of air-borne strong-absorbing nanoparticle clusters,and the minimum relative instability of ultrafine coal particle clusters reaches 0.075.By analyzing the images of nanoparticle cluster recorded by high-speed camera after being released,the migration motion parameters of the cluster can be obtained,therefore the thermophores tic force acting on the cluster is accurately measured.For the ultrafine coal particle clusters with equivalent particle sizes in a range of approximately 13-21μm,the magnitudes of their thermophores tic forces are in a range of 10~(-11)-10~(-10)N.As the cluster size increases,the thermophores tic force increases linearly,which is consistent with the theoretical calculation trend.The use of laser to levitate and release particles provides a novel approach for measuring and analyzing thermophores tic force,and also presents a novel manipulation tool for controlling and transporting particles in a gaseous medium.
