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.
