The wettability of lithium niobate crystals is patterned by inducing the pyroelectric effect onto domain engineered samples. Compared to conventional electro-wetting (EW) experiments, this technique allows one to obtain wettability patterning by an electrode-less configuration. In fact, the surface charges inducing the effect are generated pyroelectrically and spatially modulated by the domain grating.

Abstract

The wettability of lithium niobate crystals is patterned by inducing the pyroelectric effect onto domain engineered samples. Compared to conventional electro-wetting (EW) experiments, this technique allows one to obtain wettability patterning by an electrode-less configuration. In fact, the surface charges inducing the effect are generated pyroelectrically and spatially modulated by the domain grating.
