Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for depositing particles on a substrate, the method comprising generating a thermal bubble on a surface of a substrate submerged in a medium having suspended particles such that the thermal bubble deposits the particles on the substrate; and deflating the thermal bubble such that the deposited particles are pulled toward a central position to form an island of particles.
Claims (19)
1 . A method, comprising:
generating a thermal bubble on a surface of a substrate submerged in a medium having suspended particles such that the thermal bubble deposits the particles on the substrate; and
deflating the thermal bubble to vanishing such that the deposited particles are pulled toward a central position to form an island of particles;
wherein the thermal bubble remains in the central position during the generating and deflating; and
wherein the medium further comprises an analyte.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the thermal bubble is generated by firing at least one laser.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein deflating the bubble comprises allowing the bubble to cool.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the particles are nanoparticles.
