Optical force and torque provide unprecedented control on the spatial motion of small particles. A valid scientific question, that has many practical implications, concerns the existence of fundamental upper bounds for the achievable force…

Up to now, in the literature of optical manipulation, optical force due to chirality usually coexists with the non-chiral force and the chiral force usually takes a very small portion of the total force. In this work, we investigate a case…

We present a method to measure the optical torque applied to particles of arbitrary shape held in an optical trap, inferred from the change of angular momentum of light induced by the particle. All torque components can be determined from a…

Drawing inspiration from a remarkable chiral force found in nature, we show that a static electric field combined with an optical lin$\perp$lin polarization standing wave can exert a chiral optical force on a small chiral molecule that is…

For paraxial light beams and electromagnetic fields, the Stokes vector and polarization matrix provide equivalent scalar measures of optical chirality, widely used in linear optics. However, growing interest in non-paraxial fields, with…

The physics involved in the fundamental conservation equations of the spin and orbital angular momenta leads to new laws and phenomena that I disclose. To this end, I analyse the scattering of an electromagnetic wavefield by the canonical…

Optical forces allow manipulation of small particles and control of nanophotonic structures with light beams. Here, we describe a counter-intuitive lateral optical force acting on particles placed above a substrate, under uniform plane wave…

General properties of the chiral scattering of polarized neutrons are considered for two possible axial vector interactions: Zeeman energy and non-alternating Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. Behavior in magnetic field of helical magnetic…

Optical fields can exert forces of chiral nature on molecules and nanoparticles, which would prove extremely valuable in the separation of enantiomers with pharmaceutical applications, yet it is inherently complex, and the varied frameworks…

Chirality is a ubiquitous concept in modern science, from particle physics to biology. In quantum physics, chirality of fermions is linked to topology of gauge fields by the chiral anomaly. While the chiral anomaly is usually associated…

The microscopic quantum nature of elementary particles, chirality, leads to macroscopic phenomena like the chiral anomaly, chiral magnetic effect, and chiral plasma instability. We review recent progress of the studies of these chiral…

Differential cross sections are computed for the title polar molecule using static interaction, exchange forces and correlation-polarisation effects as described in detail in the main text. The dipole effect is also reported via the dipole…

This lecture gives an overview of the impacts on linear machine optics of machine imperfections due to incorrect field settings and misalignments. The effects of imperfections in dipole, quadrupole, and sextupole magnets are presented,…

The rotation of the plane of polarization of light passing through a non-magnetic material is known as natural optical activity or optical gyrotropy. The behavior of this effect in thin chiral conductors is of current interest. For example,…

We discuss the recent result by Xiang Chen (Int. J. Mod. Phys. 27(14) 1350066 (2013)) and show that the formula obtained for the Casimir torque in the systems of two isotropic rotating particles (plates) is incorrect.

We calculate the optical force and torque applied to an electric dipole by a spinning light field. We find that the dissipative part of the force depends on the orbital energy flow of the field only, because the latter is related to the…

This is a review and tutorial paper which discusses the fundamental limitations on the maximal power which can be received, absorbed, and scattered by an electrically small electrically polarizable particle and infinite periodical arrays of…

In various subdisciplines of optics and photonics, Mie theory has been serving as a fundamental language and play indispensable roles widely. Conventional studies related to Mie scattering largely focus on local properties such as…

A key element in the generation of optical torque in optical traps, which occurs when electromagnetic angular momentum is transferred from the trapping beam to the trapped particle by scattering, is the symmetries of the scattering particle…

We examine the recently introduced measure of chirality of a monochromatic optical field [Y. Tang and A. E. Cohen, Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 163901 (2010)] using the momentum (plane-wave) representation and helicity basis. Our analysis…
