Plasmonic Nanoparticle Trapping With Inhomogeneous Temperature Fields

We propose a nanoparticle trapping approach using a plasmonic nanostructure with inhomogeneous temperature fields. Results show that the thermal force, together with the near-field optical force, makes plasmonic nanostructures a flexible and wide-range manipulation strategy for nanoparticles. The th...
