Discharge at the Microscale: Using Optical Tweezers to Observe Muon-Induced Discharges of a Levitated Microparticle in Air
Andrea Stoellner, Isaac C. D. Lenton, Caroline Muller +1
Electrical discharge at the smallest possible length and charge scales is not well understood. Using optical tweezers, we investigate spontaneous discharges of a single micron-scal…

Using optical tweezers to simultaneously trap, charge and measure the charge of a microparticle in air
Andrea Stoellner, Isaac C. D. Lenton, Artem G. Volosniev +9
Optical tweezers are widely used as a highly sensitive tool to measure forces on micron-scale particles. One such application is the measurement of the electric charge of a particl…
