Effect of Different Surface Microstructures in the Thermally Induced Self-Propulsion Phenomenon
In micro/nano-scale systems where the characteristic length is in the order of or less than the mean free path for gas molecules, an object placed close to a heated substrate with a surface microstructure receives a propulsive force. In addition to the induced forces on the boundaries, thermally dri...
