Functional layered composites of the shape memory alloys are recently recognized as promising basic active element for microsystem technology and microrobotics. Amorphous-crystalline TiNiCu alloy ribbons at around 40 μm of thickness with an interface separating the amorphous and crystalline phases into layers were produced by melt spinning technique. It is shown that a decrease in the cooling rate of the melt from 8.9·10 5 to 4.2·10 5 K/s leads to an increase in the thickness of the crystalline layer from 2 to 10 μm. The ratio of the thicknesses of the amorphous d am and crystalline d cr layers was also varied by an electrochemical polishing method. The composite ribbons have exhibited the two-way shape memory effect (TWSME) of thermal induced bending deformation without additional thermomechanical training. It was established that when the ratio d cr /d am is changed from 0.06 to 0.35, the minimum bending radius of the ribbon decreases from 37.1 to 6.3 mm, and the maximum reversible strain increases by 0.05% to 0.27%. The minimum time of the shape recovery of the composite ribbons when heated by an electric current pulse was 14 ms, and the force generated by the ribbon with a length of 3 mm in bending reached 1.2 mN. A series of the microgrippers (microtweezers) were fabricated on the basis of the composite ribbons with TWSME. Complete technological process of manipulating graphite filaments with a diameter of 5 to 25 μm using developed microgrippers was demonstrated.

Controlled manipulation of nanoscale objects in fluids is relevant to both fundamental studies and technological advances in nanotechnology. While standard techniques of nanomanipulation, such as optical and plasmonic tweezers have limitations in simultaneous trapping and transport of nanoscale cargo, magnetically driven plasmonic nanorobots under optical illumination provide a promising solution. These so called mobile nanotweezers (MNT) use strongly localized electromagnetic field near plasmonic nanostructures to trap objects with high efficiency and can simultaneously be driven by magnetic fields to selectively trap, transport and release colloidal cargo. Upon illumination, apart from strong optical gradient forces due to local electric field enhancement, additional fluidic forces arise due to the heat generated by absorption of light. Here, we present a method to understand and engineer thermally induced fluidic forces in mobile nanotweezers. The temperature enhancement and associated thermofluidic forces are studied as a function of MNT geometry. We also discuss illumination at wavelengths slightly detuned from plasmon resonance frequency, which produces sufficient field enhancement with negligible generation of heat, and therefore much reduced thermophoretic and convective forces. This allowed us to engineer thermoplasmonic forces in MNTs for enhanced trapping performance and diverse applications.
