Optical tweezers, tools based on strongly focused light, enable optical trapping,
manipulation, and characterisation of a wide range of microscopic and nanoscopic …

Acoustic tweezers powerfully enable the contactless collective or selective manipulation of
microscopic objects. Trapping is achieved without pretagging, with forces several orders of …

Following the Keplerian idea of optical forces, one would intuitively expect that an object
illuminated by sunlight radiation or a laser beam will be accelerated along the direction of …

As a result of a tragic industrial accident, a highly alkaline red mud sludge inundated
settlements and agricultural areas near Ajka, Hungary on October 4, 2010. One of the major …

This work aims to model the acoustic radiation forces acting on an elastic sphere placed in
an inviscid fluid. An expression of the axial and transverse forces exerted on the sphere is …

Demonstration of the light radiation pressure on a microscopic level by A. Ashkin led to the
invention of optical tweezers (OT). Applied in the studies of living systems, OT have become …

The interaction of light with time-varying materials offers intriguing opportunities for
controlling light scattering and wavefront manipulation, thereby unlocking fascinating …

The angular spectrum representation of the vector Bessel-Gauss beam is used for
discussing the connection between the angular spectrum decomposition (ASD) method and …

The present paper may be viewed as built from comments concerning a recently published
paper in Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer, and actually …

A rigorous, simple and efficient approach is derived in this paper for multipole expansion of
a circularly symmetric Bessel beam. Different from the existing rigorous methods which are …
