DOI: 10.1103/physreva.101.043808
Abstract: We demonstrate numerically and analytically the optical binding between a pair of chiral nanoparticles immersed in a plane wave of linear polarization. The numerical results based on the full wave simulation show that, when the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physrevb.99.125416
Abstract: Optical binding allows creation of mechanically stable nanoparticle configurations owing to formation of self-consistent optical trapping potentials. While the classical diffraction limit prevents achieving deeply subwavelength arrangements, auxiliary nanostructures enable tailoring optical forces via additional… read more here.
