Buckling properties of carbon nanotubes under hydrostatic pressure
An elastic continuum mechanics model is presented to study the elastic buckling of single- and double-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) subjected to hydrostatic pressure. It is shown that a pressure-indu...

Multiferroic properties of Bi1−xDyxFeO3 nanoparticles
Dysprosium (Dy)-doped BiFeO3 (BFO) (BFDO) nanoparticles were prepared by an ethylene glycol based sol-gel method. Partial substitution of Dy (0%–20%) at the Bi site results in a change from the ...

We study the translational motion of two interacting polarizable nanospheres in the presence of a laser field. Dependences of the resulting paths on geometry, viscosity of the medium, polarization, and wavelength of the incident field are discussed. It is found that in general clustering trajectories are more probable thus favoring agglomeration, and that viscosity and circular polarization of the applied field increase further the probability of clustering. ©2009 American Institute of Physics

  12. This approach assumes a spatially uniform incident field and that the Rayleigh scattering force, which depends on the ratio (a/lambda)4, is negligible for the size of spheres and wavelengths considered here.

  14. The force due to radiation pressure acts along the direction of propagation of the laser beam and affects both particles equally, thus not disturbing the relative motion. Its strength is inversely proportional to the wavelength and for sigma=1.5, theta=0, and lambda=1050  nm, it amounts to a mere 6% of the radial force.
