Light-Controlled Rotational Speed of an Acoustically Levitating Photomobile Polymer Film

Light-Controlled Rotational Speed of an Acoustically Levitating Photomobile Polymer Film

In this work, we study the light-induced changes of the rotational speed of a thin photomobile film using a single-axis acoustic levitator operating at 40 kHz. In our experiments, a 50 μm thick photomobile polymer film (PMP) is placed in one of the nodes of a stationary acoustic field. Under the act...
