WHAT DOES PHOTOPHORESIS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Photophoresis

Photophoresis denotes the phenomenon that small particles suspended in gas or liquids start to migrate when illuminated by a sufficiently intense beam of light. The existence of this phenomenon is owed to a non-uniform distribution of temperature of an illuminated particle in a fluid medium. Separately from photophoresis, in a fluid mixture of different kinds of particles, the migration of some kinds of particles may be due to differences in their absorptions of thermal radiation and other thermal effects collectively known as thermophoresis. In laser photophoresis, particles migrate once they have a refractive index different from their surrounding medium. The migration of particles is usually possible when the laser is slightly or not focused. A particle with a higher refractive index compared to its surrounding molecule moves away from the light source due to momentum transfer from absorbed and scattered light photons. This is referred to as a radiation pressure force. This force depends on light intensity and particle size but has nothing to do with the surrounding medium.

Definition of photophoresis in the English dictionary

The definition of photophoresis in the dictionary is the move away from a strong light source by previously suspended particles in a gas.
