Series: IOP Series in Emerging Technologies in Optics and Photonics

This book intends to describe and review the extension of optical trapping and manipulation approaches to new materials beyond the classical dielectric beads usually employed in the field. Exploring the different optical properties of materials such as metals, semiconductors, topological insulators, quantum dots and others can lead to new applications of optical tweezers using these materials as handles to manipulate the systems of interest, allowing the investigation of physical / chemical and biological phenomena that cannot be accessed by other ways.

Key Features:

The first book that focuses on the optical trapping and manipulation of various types of different materials.

Integrated presentation of two specific topics: the optical properties of the different materials and the consequences of such properties on the optical manipulation of such materials.

Includes cutting edge topics.

Presents applications and perspectives for the future.

T. A. Moura Graduated (2015), Master’s (2017) and PhD (2022) in physics from the Federal University of Viçosa (Brazil). Since 2017 he has been studying the interaction and manipulation of semiconductor materials with the optical tweezers technique. Currently, he is a postdoctoral fellow of the Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM), working at the Federal Univ. of Viçosa under the supervision of J. B. S. Mendes and M. S. Rocha. Joaquim Bonfim Santos Mendes holds a master’s degree in Physics from the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE - 2009) and a PhD in Physics from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ - 2013). Post-doc in the Physics Department of UFPE (2014). Since 2014 he has been a professor at the Physics Department at the Federal University of Viçosa (UFV) in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Director of the Physics Department at UFV from 2019 to 2023. He has experience in Experimental Physics, with emphasis on Condensed Matter Physics, Materials Science, Magnetic Materials and Magnetic Properties, working mainly on the following topics: Nanomagnetism and spintronics, ferromagnetic resonance, spin dynamics, quantum materials, optical manipulation of micro-systems, synthesis of nano and microparticles, fabrication of thin films and multilayers, etc. Márcio S. Rocha graduated in Physics from the Federal University of Ceará (2001), Master's (2004) and PhD (2008) in Physics from the Federal University of Minas Gerais, both Brazilian institutions. Since 2008 he has been a professor (permanent position) at the Physics Department at the Federal University of Viçosa (UFV) in Minas Gerais, Brazil, becoming a Full Professor in December 2024. He was the coordinator of the Graduate Program in Physics at UFV from 2017 to 2022. He has high experience with Experimental Physics, with emphasis on the fields of ""Biological Physics'', ""Optics Applied to Biological Systems'' and ""Optical Manipulation of Micro-systems''. Head of the Biological Physics Laboratory at UFV, implemented by the researcher at this institution in 2008-2010. Director of the Nanoscopy Research Center of UFV (2024 - present).
