RESUMEN
Micro and nano-scale manipulation of living matter is crucial in biomedical applications for diagnostics and pharmaceuticals, facilitating disease study, drug assessment, and biomarker identification. Despite advancements, trapping biological nanoparticles remains challenging. Nanotweezer-based strategies, including dielectric and plasmonic configurations, show promise due to their efficiency and stability, minimizing damage without direct contact. Our study uniquely proposes an inverted hybrid dielectric-plasmonic nanobowtie designed to overcome the primary limitations of existing dielectric-plasmonic systems, such as high costs and manufacturing complexity. This novel configuration offers significant advantages for the stable and long-term trapping of biological objects, including strong energy confinement with reduced thermal effects. The metal's efficient light reflection capability results in a significant increase in energy field confinement (EC) within the trapping site, achieving an enhancement of over 90% compared to the value obtained with the dielectric nanobowtie. Numerical simulations confirm the successful trapping of 100 nm viruses, demonstrating a trapping stability greater than 10 and a stiffness of 2.203 fN/nm. This configuration ensures optical forces of approximately 2.96 fN with an input power density of 10 mW/µm2 while preserving the temperature, chemical-biological properties, and shape of the biological sample.
