Abstract

A method for determining steady-state particle density distribution resulting from an incident standing-wave field is discussed. A brief review of photonic crystals relates their established properties and their symmetry along with spectral relationships using 1D eigenvalue equations. Electrostatic interactions between neutral but polarizable particles are derived from Maxwell's equations and the Lorentz force equation. The role of the stress tensor in electromagnetic propagation is discussed. Macroscopic van der Waals forces are described in terms of the Maxwell stress tensor, and equations for the microscopic van der Waals forces between two parallel dipoles are given for in- phase and out-of-phase cases. Spatial distribution of the electric field magnitude for the two cases are illustrated. Possible applications are described.
