abstract = {In this work we investigate the thermodiffusion behavior of
microemulsion droplets of the type H2O / n-alkane / C12E5
using the n-alkanes: n-octane, n-decane, n-dodecane and
n-tetradecane [1]. In order to determine the thermodiffusion
behavior of these microemulsion droplets, we apply the
infrared thermal diffusion forced Rayleigh scattering
technique. We measure the Soret coefficient $S_T$ as
function of the structure upon approaching the
emulsification failure boundary (efb) and as a function of
the radius of the spherical o/w-microemulsion droplets close
to the efb. By varying the chain length of the n-alkanes we
are able to study the thermodiffusion behavior of droplets
of different sizes at the same temperature. In the
investigated range a linear dependence of the Soret
coefficient as function of the radius was found. Using a
proposed relationship between the Soret coefficient and the
temperature dependence of the interfacial tension, the
transition layer, l, could be determined for the first time
[2].Additionally, small angle neutron scattering (SANS)
experiments are performed to determine the size and to
examine in detail the shape of the microemulsion droplets,
as the droplets are known to elongate with increasing
temperature. Close to the efb the scattering curves could be
quantitatively described by a combination of a spherical
core-shell form factor and sticky hard sphere structure
factor. [1] Naumann, P., Datta, S., Sottmann, T., Arlt, B.,
