Abstract
The copper nanoparticles were synthesized by green technology using leaf extracts of Ocimum sanctum. The synthesized copper nanoparticles were confirmed by the change of colour after the addition of leaf extract into the copper sulfate solution. The synthesized copper was characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and UV-vis absorption spectroscopy. The copper nanoparticles are crystallized with FCC structure. The synthesized copper nanoparticles exhibit spherical morphology with average particle size of 20 nm. The copper nanoparticle exhibits absorption broad band between 550 nm – 575 nm. The optical trapping effect of Gaussian beam acting on a copper nanoparticle in Rayleigh regime was studied. The optical scattering and optical gradient forces were calculated for 20 nm copper particle.
