Abstract
We have demonstrated a new plasmonic tweezers utilizing localized surface plasmonic resonance from self-assembled Au nanoparticles to achieve high energy conversion efficiency. In this paper, we describe their operations for (1) trapping of micro-particles and cells, (2) long-range trapping and rotation of nanorods, (3) micro-mixers, and (4) micro-concentrators in opto-fluidics.
