We consider both simple particles such as homogeneous isotropic spheres, spherical shells, spheroids, and so on, and complex particles, including anisotropic particles, inhomogenous particles, and geometrically complex particles.enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/restrictedAccessArticle5805.Haz52854400028873980001410.1080/09500340.2010.528565Optical tweezersT-matrix methodOptically-driven micromachinesLight scattering2-s2.0-79953085434
