Colloids: • Polymer microspheres trapped by laser beams • Carbon nanotubes: • Xe atoms trapped in a tube Tatarkova, et al., PRL 2002 Cvitas and Siber, PRB 2003 Motivation: 1-D chains in condensed matter

Unusual properties of this wave: • The transverse mode in a 1-D chain is: • optical • backward

Measure real part of k from phase vs x fit to straight line yields kr
Measure imaginary part of k from amplitude vs x fit to exponential yields ki transverse mode
Wave is: backward i.e., negative dispersion Experimental dispersion relation (real part of k) CM • smaller N Þ • larger a • larger
Wave damping is weakest in the frequency band Experimental dispersion relation (imaginary part of k) for three different chain lengths Wave damping is higher for: smaller N larger
Experimental parameters To determine Q and D from experiment: We used equilibrium particle positions & force balance Þ Q = 6200 e D = 0.86 mm
Theory • Derivation: • Eq. of motion for each particle, linearized & Fourier-transformed • Assumptions: • Probably same as in experiment: • Parabolic confining potential • Yukawa interaction • Epstein damping • No coupling between L & T modes • Different from experiment: • Infinite 1-D chain • Uniform interparticle distance • Interact with nearest two neighbors only
Evanescent I CM Wave is allowed in a frequency band Wave is: backward i.e., negative dispersion II R L (s-1) Evanescent L III Theoretical dispersion relation of optical mode (without damping) CM = frequency of sloshing-mode
Wave damping is weakest in the frequency band Theoretical dispersion relation (with damping) high damping I CM II L III small damping
Molecular Dynamics Simulation • Solve equation of motion for N= 28 particles • Assumptions: • Finite length chain • Parabolic confining potential • Yukawa interaction • All particles interact • Epstein damping • External force to simulate laser
Results: experiment, theory & simulation real part of k Q = 6 ´ 103 e = 0.88 a = 0.73 mm CM = 18.84 s-1
Results: experiment, theory & simulation imaginary part of k • Damping: • theory & simulation assume E= 4 s-1
Why is the wave backward? Compare two cases: • k = 0 • Particles all move together • Center-of-mass oscillation in confining potential at wcm • k > 0 • Particle repulsion acts oppositely to restoring force of the confining potential • reduces theoscillation frequency
Conclusion • Transverse Optical Mode • is due to confining potential & interparticle repulsion • is a backward wave • was observed in experiment • Real part of dispersion relation was measured: • experiment agrees with theory
