Electromagnetic forces and torques enable many key technologies, including optical
tweezers or dielectrophoresis. Interestingly, both techniques rely on the same physical …

Optical binding is a laser-induced inter-particle force that exists between two or more
particles subjected to off-resonant light. It is one of the key tools in optical manipulation of …

We demonstrate theoretically that Fano resonance can induce a negative optical scattering
force acting on plasmonic nanoparticles in the visible light spectrum when an appropriate …

Abstract the mid-infrared metasurfaces play an important in optical applications including
sensing and having Fano response is a benefit in this field for many goals including …

We theoretically and numerically demonstrate that Fano-like resonance can induce a left-
handed optical torque on a dipolar plasmonic core-shell nanoparticle in the interference …

The behavior of Fano resonance and the reversal of near field optical binding force of
dimers over different substrates have not been studied so far. Notably, for particle clustering …

For both the longitudinal binding force and the lateral binding force, a generic way of
controlling the mutual attraction and repulsion (usually referred to as reversal of optical …

Laser trapping at an interface provides a unique platform for assembling novel multiparticle-
based optical matter that extends well beyond the irradiated area. Optical binding, resulting …

We demonstrate a reconfigurable lateral optical force (OF) on a plasmonic nanoparticle
immersed in a simple optical field invariant along the lateral direction and formed by two …

We present a computational study of the internal optical forces arising in plasmonic gap
antennas, dolmen structures and split rings. We find that very strong internal forces …
