Abstract

In recent years various experiments reported translational and rotational motion of laser-heated Janus colloids, including steering through feedback and collective effects. We discuss optical actuation and swimming mechanisms, in terms of the underlying thermal surface forces and slip velocities, the latter providing hydrodynamic boundary conditions.
