Light Induced Inverse-Square Law Interactions between Nanoparticles: “Mock Gravity” at the Nanoscale
Light Induced Inverse-Square Law Interactions between Nanoparticles: “Mock Gravity” at the Nanoscale
The interaction forces between identical resonant molecules or nanoparticles, optically induced by a quasimonochromatic isotropic random light field, are theoretically analyzed. In general, the interaction force exhibits a far-field oscillatory behavior at separation distances larger than the light wavelength. However, we show that the oscillations disappear when the frequency of …
