Resonance-Driven Discrete Growth and Chemical Reactivity of Optically Levitated Droplets by Kaiqi Zhang, Grégory David, Yue Zhao, Hua-Yun Xiao, Ruth Signorell, Chenxi Li

“…By combining Mie theory-based analysis of the stimulated Raman scattering and droplet thermodynamics, we develop an approach to retrieve the key properties (e.g., temperature, pH, and molality) of thermally locked droplets and demonstrate that chemistry-driven thermal locking results in a signature particle growth pattern. Comparison of sulfate formation rates in locked versus unlocked droplets further reveals that thermal locking can accelerate chemical reactions or even change the dominant mechanism by promoting photoinduced reaction pathways. …”
