Abstract
Confining molecules and ions at a specific position in a solution enables the control of chemical reactions and analysis of tiny amounts of substances. Here, we demonstrate local condensation of a temperature responsive ionic liquid using optical tweezers. Two kinds of microdroplets are prepared through phase separation or nanocluster formation under irradiation of a near-infrared laser beam. The droplet formation mechanism is discussed in view of the evolution of an optical potential well and the local temperature distribution.
