Abstract
Construction and operation of the electrodynamic levitation trap which can be operated in a passive and an active mode is described. This combination together with variable electrode geometry simplifies the trap's design and simultaneously gives more flexibility with respect to different kinds of me asurements. Sample measurements of mechanocaloric effect caused by nonunifo rm heating of a single levitated particle are presented and discussed. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics. [S0034-6748(99)03711-9].
