Abstract
ABSTRACTA method and setup are proposed for trapping and detecting nanoparticles dispersed in a nanocomposite solution using periodically localized light generated by a subwavelength transmission grating. By numerical simulations, it is shown that there is an optimum duty ratio of the grating to produce the periodically localized light. Experimental results are presented for Au/γ-Fe2O3 composite nanoparticles having a diameter of 21.0 nm trapped on a silicon subwavelength rectangular grating and detected ellipsometrically. The technique should prove useful for evaluating optical and mechanical properties of nanocomposite materials.
