This study introduces a hybrid gold-graphene plasmonic tweezers that efficiently manipulates micrometer particles by varying the trap stiffness of the graphene layer. The graphene layer absorbs the plasmonic field around gold nanostructures at specific chemical potentials, allowing modulation of plasmonic force components and trapping potential, leading to more efficient heat transfer.
Taking advantage of highly confined evanescent fields to overcome the free-space diffraction limit, we show plasmonic tweezers enable efficient trapping and manipulation of manometric particles by low optical powers. In typical plasmonic tweezers, trapping/releasing particles is carried out by turning the laser power on and off, which cannot be achieved quickly and repeatedly during the experiment. We introduce hybrid gold-graphene plasmonic tweezers in which the trap stiffness is varied electrostatically by applying suitable voltages to a graphene layer. We show how the graphene layer absorbs the plasmonic field around the gold nanostructures in particular chemical potentials, allowing us to modulate the plasmonic force components and the trapping potential. We show graphene monolayer (bilayer) with excellent thermal properties enables more efficient heat transfer throughout the plasmonic tweezers, reducing the magnitude of thermophoretic force by about 23 (36) times. This thermophoresis suppression eliminates the risk of photothermal damage to the target sample. Our proposed plasmonic tweezers open up possibilities to develop tunable plasmonic tweezers with high-speed and versatile force-switching functionality and more efficient thermal performance.
