Collective effects on thermophoresis of aqueous particle suspensions are studied experimentally and theoretically. A microfluidic device is used to characterize thermophoretic transport of 100 nm, 500 nm and 1 μm particles of various concentrations in deionized (DI) water. Our experimental findings...
