Nonresonant optomechanical control of structural phases
Optical tweezers demonstrate how light can exert forces to trap, repel, and manipulate microscopic particles without absorption. Recent theory has suggested that such forces can extend beyond particle manipulation to drive structural phase transitions in solids. Here we apply this optomechanical principle to tin seleni...
