Abstract
The ability to control nanoscale motions of nanomaterials is expected to play significant roles in various fields such as photophysics, photochemistry and biological applications. For the optical nanomanipulation, metal nanoantenna structures are widely used. These plasmonic structures can confine light into nano-sized volumes and enhance the nanoscale light-matter interactions. In this paper, we demonstrated that precise orbital rotational motion is driven by the angular momentum that is transferred from photon to plasmonic nanoantenna. We present the numerical simulation results and discussion on the mechanism of the angular momenta transfer. Then, we show the experimental results on the rotational manipulation of a nanodiamond using plasmonic trimer structure.
