Meta 2010 & FEM 2010 – Rome, 13-15 December 2010 Controlling Optical Forces on Nanoparticles through Metamaterials Simone Tricarico, Filiberto Bilotti and Lucio Vegni University “Roma Tre”, Department of Applied Electronics Rome, Italy – E-mail: stricarico@uniroma3.it In this contribution, we propose a theoretical analysis showing how metamaterials conformal covers surrounding a given nanoscatterer may be effectively used not only to design cloaking devices [1,2], but also to synthesize shells able to control acting optical forces [3]. Here, we extend the scattering cancellation approach in order to derive the proper conditions under which plasmonic media or metamaterials can be used to manipulate optical forces exerted by the illuminating radiation on a Rayleigh particle. In the long wavelength limit, in fact, such kind of forces are directly related to the amplitude of the object electric polarizability. Since scattering cancellation technique relies in suppressing the scattered field by nullifying the polarizability of the overall object, we may exploit the inherently dispersive behavior metamaterials to design a suitable cover able to govern optical forces (see Figure 1). x �0 y �0 2 E0 f) b) Figure 1 – a) Gradient force field distribution for a bare dielectric spherical particle placed in the interference region of two orthogonal standing waves with zero phase shift. b) Gradient force field distribution in the same configuration for a dielectric spherical covered by a metamaterial shell. At the working frequency (zero crossing of the electric polarizability) the gradient force is minimized. References [1] A. Alù and N.
