Plasmonic Coupling Dynamics of Silver Nanoparticles in an Optical Trap.
We investigate binding and plasmonic coupling between optically trapped 80 nm silver spheres using a combination of spectroscopic sensing and 3D interferometric laser particle tracking on a 1 μs time scale. We demonstrate that nanoparticle coupling can be either spontaneous or induced by another particle through confinement of diffusion. We reveal ultrafast entries and exits of nanoparticles in...
متن کاملSensing nanoparticles using a double nanohole optical trap.
We use a double nanohole (DNH) optical trap to quantify the size and concentration of nanoparticles in solution. The time to trap shows a linear dependence with nanosphere size and a -2/3 power dependence with nanosphere concentration, which is in agreement with simple microfluidic considerations. The DNH approach has size-specificity on the order of a few nanometers, which was used to selectiv...
متن کاملOptical vortex trap for resonant confinement of metal nanoparticles.
The confinement and controlled movement of metal nanoparticles and nanorods is an emergent area within optical micromanipulation. In this letter we experimentally realise a novel trapping geometry near the plasmon resonance using an annular light field possessing a helical phasefront that confines the nanoparticle to the vortex core (dark) region. We interpret our data with a theoretical framew...
متن کاملPrograms that Model Themselves
Work on reeection has frequently concentrated on programming languages and operating systems. This work either involves the use of tower reeection or meta-object protocols. The subject of this paper is a diierent form of reeection that is, we believe, more powerful and fundamental than the other kinds. Self modelling is a process that has not received attention in the literature; indeed, we bel...
متن کاملmRNAs scan themselves out
In eukaryotic cells, mRNAs are transcribed in the nucleus and must then be exported across the nuclear envelope before they can be translated in the cytoplasm. Multiple factors bind to nuclear mRNAs and mediate their translocation through the nuclear pores, but it is diffi cult to observe the rapid export of individual RNA molecules in real time. Two papers now track the movements of single mRN...
