abstract = {We investigated the thermal diffusion phenomena of a
rodlike mutant filamentous fd-Y21M virus in the isotropic
phase by means of an improved infrared
thermal-diffusion-forced Rayleigh scattering (IR-TDFRS)
setup optimized for measurements of slowly diffusing
systems. Because this is the first thermal diffusion study
of a stiff anisotropic solute, we investigate the influence
of the shape anisotropy on the thermal diffusion behavior.
The influence of temperature, fd-Y21M concentration, and
ionic strength in relation with the thermodiffusion
properties is discussed. We characterize and eliminate the
effect of these parameters on the absolute diffusion of the
rods and show that diffusion determines the behavior of the
Soret coefficient because the thermal diffusion coefficient
is constant in the investigated regime. Our results indicate
that for the thermal diffusion behavior structural changes
of the surrounding water are more important than structural
changes between the charged macroions. In the investigated
temperature and concentration range, the fd-Y21M virus is
thermophobic for the low salt content, whereas the solutions
with the high salt content change from thermophobic to
thermophilic behavior with decreasing temperature. A
comparison with recent measurements of other charged soft
and biological matter systems shows that the shape
anisotropy of the fd-virus becomes not visible in the
results.},
