Colloidal rods in optical potential energy landscapes

We study the static and dynamic behaviour of colloidal rods in an optical potential energy landscape. We explore the stable states of a colloidal rod in a single optical trap close to a flat wall. Here, two metastable states are observed, horizontal and vertical, both of which experience a parabolic...
