title = "Optical forces on patterned particles",
abstract = "The non-conservative nature of optical forces has been explored previously, with the initial focus on spherical particles, and latterly on particles with less than spherical symmetry. Non-conservative optical forces occur in many different guises, and include lateral forces arising from shape asymmetry, polarisation dependant optical torques and spin-dependant lateral forces. Photo-induced curing of liquid crystalline polymers is a technique that may be used to generate refractive-index patterning of surfaces. Here, we use computational methods to examine the influence of such surface structuring on optically-generated forces and torques, with a view to optimising such materials for applications as light-driven sensors and actuators.",
