Theory of resonant radiation force exerted on nanostructures by optical excitation of their quantum states: From microscopic to macroscopic descriptions

Resonant radiation force exerted on a single‐walled carbon nanotube is theoretically studied. Even under weak laser irradiation at room temperature, the acceleration of a nanotube caused by a radiation force becomes significantly large in the resonant excitation conditions of an exciton. The spectral peak frequencies of the acceleration are sensitive to the diameter of nanotubes and to the light polarization. These features are quite useful for nondestructive remote sorting and collection of nanotubes with desired structure and alignment. (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

“…In fact, the recent experiment has indicated the effectiveness of this mechanism in NOM, where CuCl nanoparticles are transported over macroscopic distance by excitonic resonant light [4]. Furthermore, in our fairly recent works [5,6], we have revealed that attractive and repulsive forces can arise under optical excitation of the electromagnetically coupled states of exciton polaritons in spatially separated nanostructures, which will enable us to control the relative motion of nano-objects.…”

We theoretically study the resonant radiation force on a nanoparticle confining an exciton under the irradiation of various light sources that consist of Laguerre‐Gaussian beams (LGB) with doughnut‐shaped intensity distribution on a beam cross‐section and optical orbital angular momentum (OAM) around light axis. As a result, we have clarified possibilities of novel types of nano optical manipulation as follows: (A) Size‐selective control of rotational motion of nano‐objects can be realized by changing light frequency near the exciton resonance in multiple optical potential wells in a standing wave field composed of counter‐propagating LGBs with the same OAM. (B) Spiral‐shaped optical traps can be formed by the combination of LGBs with different OAMs. Obtained results will drastically expand the degrees of freedom of resonant nano optical manipulation by incorporating the control technique of the rotational motion in addition to those of the translational and the relative motions.

“…Self-assembly of nanoparticles under the action of non-resonant electromagnetic field in the wide frequency range was also investigated [13]. When nanoparticles resonantly interact with the electromagnetic field, this interaction gives new opportunities for selective manipulation of nanoparticles [14]. One should note that optical and spectral properties of silver nanoparticles with a surface plasmon resonance in the visible spectrum were extensively studied [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22].…”

The paper presents theoretical justification for the possibility of formation of nanoparticle structures with the predefined configuration. The process of formation is the self-organized aggregation of nanoparticles under the action of external resonant laser field. The formation of various nanostructures that contain metallic and semiconducting nanoparticles with resonances in the visible spectrum is considered in the dipole-dipole approximation.
