Propelled colloidal particles constitute biomimetic analogues to natural microswimmers and represent ideal agents for responsive and adaptive soft matter. Among the numerous propulsion mechanisms developed recently to self-propel such nano- and microparticles, light is a most promising stimulus, since it enables a natural spatio-temporal control of the motion, especially for large numbers of the particles, leading to swarming-like behaviour or novel active materials with exceptional properties.
We introduce on the one hand a novel class of such particles that are light-actuated based on symmetry-broken refraction, fabricated by 3d laser printing based on two-photon polymerization. By numerical simulations, we will discuss collective, light-actuated effects including unexpected patterns and transport effects.
On the other hand, we demonstrate that light actuation of a large number of colloidal particles in optical feedback leads to self-organized pattern formation including the superposition of symmetric patterns as hexagons, rolls and squares. We discuss the stability of these patterns and their control.
