Abstract
The present subject matter described herein relates to a Magnetically Augmented Plasmonic Tweezer (MAPT), a method for fabrication of the MAPT, and a method for trapping and maneuvering one or more colloidal particles inside a fluid. The fluid may correspond to a fluid inside a microfluidic device or a biological fluid. The MAPT can comprise a helical support structure to provide maneuverability in fluid. Further, a magnetic component is integrated in the MAPT for motion control. Plasmonic nanostructures are integrated in the MAPT for optical trapping of particles.
