Optical control and manipulation of diamagnetically levitated pyrolytic graphite

When levitating above an alternating-pole permanent magnet array, pyrolytic graphite can be displaced by asymmetric diamagnetic forces resulting from optically-induced, localized temperature changes and the thermal dependence of pyrolytic graphite’s magnetic susceptibility. In this paper, we present...
