Plasmon nano-optical tweezers (2011, background): “In 2006, Garces-Chavez and co-workers reported the self-assembly of a large number of micrometre-sized dielectric beads within the region of a gold surface where an SPP was excite”
Colloquium: Gripped by light: Optical binding (2010, methodology): “Using an SPPbased experimental setup, Garcés-Chávez et al. 2006 explored three different regimes that led to the colloidal aggregation.”
Multiple optical trapping and binding: new routes to self-assembly (2010, methodology): “Exploiting the optical near-field is also another power method to obtain a large area self assembly of particles, given the large potential surface area over which particle may be organized [55-57].”
