Abstract
In recent years, nanostructures created using optical vortices have attracted much attention. However, the details of the nanostructure formation process have not yet been clarified. In this study, focusing on nanostructures formed by Laguerre-Gaussian beam irradiation, we investigated the assembly dynamics of nanoparticles (NPs) as a model to understand the formation process of chiral nanostructures. Analyzing the fluorescence intensity and areas at the laser focal spot, we evaluated the assembled structure of NPs. Furthermore, particle tracking analysis for NPs attracted to the focal spot from the outside was performed. As a result, NPs assembled in the x-y plane and stacked vertically, where NPs outside the laser focal spot were attracted to the toroidal potential well along the orbit and were eventually trapped.
