Article Synopsis
- Sub-micron polystyrene spheres can form 2D arrays when exposed to laser beams at a silica-water interface, with particle size and beam polarization influencing their arrangement.
- The study focuses on particles between 390-520 nm in diameter, which can be seen using optical microscopes, and reports several types of arrays including rectangular, hexagonal, and a defective array.
- The arrangement of these particles is affected by both optical trapping and binding, with binding sometimes causing the formation of arrays that do not align with the laser beam interference patterns.
