| Popis: | Optical trapping of magnetic Fe-oxide particles is notoriously difficult due to their high refractive indices, not to mention high absorptivity at the trapping infra-red wavelengths. We synthesize Fe co-doped NaYF4:Yb,Er ferromagnetic upconversion particles that not only have refractive indices conducive for optical trapping, but also heat less than Haematite particles at off-resonant wavelengths. These particles are hexagonal shaped with dimensions of the order of 3 micrometer and also bear high coercivity of 20 mT and saturation magnetisation of 1 Am^2/kg. This enables simultaneous use of optical trapping and magnetic forces to generate micro-manipulation in all the six degrees of freedom of a rigid body. We also show that these particles heat significantly when illuminated on absorption resonance at 975 nm while emitting visible light with possible implications for fluorescence microscopy and photothermal therapy of cancer cells.
