A chemical nano-reactor based on a levitated nanoparticle in vacuum
Francesco Ricci, Marc T. Cuairan, Andreas W. Schell +4
A single levitated nanoparticle is used as a nano-reactor for studying surface chemistry at the nanoscale. Optical levitation under controlled pressure, surrounding gas composition…
Optical potential mapping with a levitated nanoparticle at sub-wavelength distances from a membrane
Rozenn Diehl, Erik Hebestreit, René Reimann +3
The controllable positioning of a vacuum-levitated object near a material surface is of importance for studying short-range forces, such as Casimir forces, interfacial friction for…
GHz Rotation of an Optically Trapped Nanoparticle in Vacuum
René Reimann, Michael Doderer, Erik Hebestreit +5
We report on rotating an optically trapped silica nanoparticle in vacuum by transferring spin angular momentum of light to the particle's mechanical angular momentum. At sufficient…
Measuring the Internal Temperature of a Levitated Nanoparticle in High Vacuum
Erik Hebestreit, René Reimann, Martin Frimmer +1
The interaction of an object with its surrounding bath can lead to a coupling between the object's internal degrees of freedom and its center-of-mass motion. This coupling is espec…
Sensing of Static Forces with Free-Falling Nanoparticles
Erik Hebestreit, Martin Frimmer, René Reimann +1
Miniaturized mechanical resonators have proven to be excellent force sensors. However, they usually rely on resonant sensing schemes, and their excellent performance cannot be util…
Calibration and temperature measurement of levitated optomechanical sensors
Erik Hebestreit, Martin Frimmer, René Reimann +3
Optically levitated nanoparticles offer enormous potential for precision sensing. However, as for any other metrology device, the absolute measurement performance of a levitated-pa…
Controlling the net charge on a nanoparticle optically levitated in vacuum
Martin Frimmer, Karol Luszcz, Sandra Ferreiro +3
Optically levitated nanoparticles in vacuum are a promising model system to test physics beyond our current understanding of quantum mechanics. Such experimental tests require extr…
