Abstract:
The results of theoretical and experimental studies of influence of forces of light pressure upon the movement of the silver nanoparticles which are in liquid environments with various value of viscosity are given. The expression of the main equation of dynamics taking into account the gradient force, forces of absorption and dispersion operating on a metal spherical nanoparticle in the field of the focused laser beam of a Gaussian form are received. The speeds of the movement of silver nanoparticles and their movement in environments with various coefficients of viscosity are experimentally determined.
Keywords:metal nanoparticle, Gaussian beam, gradient force, forces of dispersion and absorption, speed of nanoparticles, liquid viscosity.
