Abstract
The acceleration of an spheroidal metal nanoparticle in an irradiation field with a frequency close to the surface plasmon vibration has been considered. Under the action of radiation pressure, the polarizability for nonspherical particle becomes a tensor quantity. The analytical expressions for the resonance acceleration components for the cases of plane-polarized and circularly polarized light have been derived. We have demonstrated that the resonance acceleration can depend substantially on the shape of a metal nanoparticle and its orientation with respect to the directions of light propagation and the light polarization.
