abstract = {Recently Dhont and Briels [1] calculated the double-layer
contribution to the single-particle thermal diffusion
coefficient of charged, spherical colloids with arbitrary
double-layer thickness. In this approach three forces are
taken into account, which contribute to the total
thermophoretic force on a charged colloidal sphere due its
double layer: i) the force FW that results from the
temperature dependence of the internal electrostatic energy
W of the double layer, ii) the electric force Fel with which
the temperature-induced non-spherically symmetric
double-layer potential acts on the surface charges of the
colloidal sphere and iii) the solvent-friction force Fsol on
the surface of the colloidal sphere due to the solvent flow
that is induced in the double layer because of its
asymmetry. This concept has successfully been used to
describe the Soret coefficient of Ludox particles as
function of the Debye length [2] (cf. Fig. 1). The surface
charge density of the Ludox particles is independently
obtained from electrophoresis measurements, the size of the
colloidal particles is obtained from electron microscopy,
and the Debye length is calculated from the ion
concentration. Therefore the only adjustable parameter in
the comparison with theory is the intercept at zero Debye
length, which measures the contribution to the Soret
coefficient of the solvation layer and possibly the colloid
core material.Later the concept was extended for charged
colloidal rods [3]. As model system we used the charged,
rod-like fd-virus. The Soret coefficient of the fd-viruses
increases monotonically with increasing Debye length, while
there is a relatively weak dependence on the
rod-concentration when the ionic strength is kept constant.
Additionally to the intercept at zero Debye length we used
the surface charge density as an adjustable parameter.
Experimentally we found a surface charge density of
0.050±0.003 e/nm2, which compares well the surface charge
density, of 0.066±0.004 e/nm2, which has been determined by
electrophoresis measurements taking into account the ion
condensation.All experiments so far have been performed with
the so-called infrared thermal diffusion forced Rayleigh
scattering technique [4]. This method uses the refractive
index contrast between the different components and is
therefore typically limited to binary mixtures. In order to
study also biological colloids in buffer solutions we are
presently developing a microscopic cell with heated wires.
First results for some fluorescently labelled polystyrene
lattices in the microwire cell are presented in comparison
with thermal diffusion forced Rayleigh scattering
measurements.REFERENCES[1] J.K.G. Dhont and W.J. Briels,
