Electromagnetic forces and torques: From dielectrophoresis to optical tweezers

M Riccardi, OJF Martin - Chemical Reviews, 2023 - ACS Publications
Electromagnetic forces and torques enable many key technologies, including optical
tweezers or dielectrophoresis. Interestingly, both techniques rely on the same physical …

Multipolar theory of bianisotropic response of meta-atoms

M Poleva, K Frizyuk, K Baryshnikova, A Evlyukhin… - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
The bianisotropy of meta-atoms is usually associated with their nonlocal response and
mutual coupling between electric and magnetic dipole moments induced by an incident …

Multipolar expansions for scattering and optical force calculations beyond the long wavelength approximation

M Riccardi, A Kiselev, K Achouri, OJF Martin - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
We review three different approaches for the calculation of electromagnetic multipoles,
namely, the Cartesian primitive multipoles, the Cartesian irreducible multipoles, and the …

Multipole interplay controls optical forces and ultra-directional scattering

A Kiselev, K Achouri, OJF Martin - Optics Express, 2020 - opg.optica.org
We analyze the superposition of Cartesian multipoles to reveal the mechanisms underlying
the origin of optical forces. We show that a multipolar decomposition approach significantly …

Electromagnetic forces in the time domain

A Kiselev, K Achouri, OJF Martin - Optics Express, 2022 - opg.optica.org
We look beyond the standard time-average approach and investigate optical forces in the
time domain. The formalism is developed for both the Abraham and Minkowski momenta …

Multipolar Pseudochirality-Induced Optical Torque

K Achouri, M Chung, A Kiselev, OJF Martin - ACS photonics, 2023 - ACS Publications
It has been observed that achiral nanoparticles, such as flat helices, may be subjected to an
optical torque even when illuminated by normally incident linearly polarized light. However …

Lineshape study of optical force spectra on resonant structures

L Fan, Z Zhao, Rituraj, W **, M Orenstein, S Fan - Optics Express, 2022 - opg.optica.org
Understanding the frequency spectrum of the optical force is important for controlling and
manipulating micro-and nano-scale objects using light. Spectral resonances of these objects …
