abstract = {We propose a theoretical prototype of a micro-scale turbine
externally driven by diffusive heat flux without the need
for macroscopic particle flux, which is in sharp contrast to
conventional turbines. The prototypes are described
analytically and validated by computer simulations. Our
results indicate that a micro-scale turbine composed of
anisotropic blades can rotate unidirectionally in an
external temperature gradient due to the anisotropic
thermophoresis effect. The rotational direction and speed
depend on the temperature gradient, the geometry and the
thermophoretic properties of the turbine. The proposed
thermophoretic turbines can be experimentally realized and
implemented on micro-devices such as computer-chips to
recover waste heat or to facilitate cooling.},
