减轻反冲事件和最小化光致加热是宏观粒子精确控制和冷却中的核心挑战。为克服此问题，我们提出捕获共振介电粒子用于超高真空（UHV）悬浮动力学应用。与在驻波几何结构中抑制寄生共振散射的其他方法不同，我们提出在暗陷阱区域的单光束几何结构。作为有前景的材料平台，我们聚焦具有高极化率的一类过渡金属二卤化物（TMD）粒子，其折射率在3.7 - 4.8范围内，密度高达9.3 g/cm³。利用全米氏理论，我们确定了一系列TMD粒子半径，它们在瓶形光束配置中支持稳定的轴向和径向磁四极捕获。我们预测对于质量为0.5×10¹² amu的WS₂粒子，相对于机械频率，散射率可抑制至Γ/Ω≈0.02。这对应于与在UHV中传统亮光学陷阱中捕获的相同质量的二氧化硅粒子相比，相干时间延长约三个数量级。结合显著降低的内部加热，仍远低于材料熔点，共振TMD宏观粒子的暗捕获成为探索大质量量子物理的有前景平台。
英文摘要
Mitigating recoil events and minimizing optically induced heating are central challenges in the precise control and cooling of macroscopic particles. To overcome this, we propose trapping resonant dielectric particles for applications in ultra-high vacuum (UHV) levitodynamics. Contrary to other approaches, where suppressing the parasitic resonant scattering was achieved in a standing wave geometry, here we propose a single beam geometry in a dark trap regime. As a promising material platform, we focus on a class of transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) particles with high polarizability, characterized by refractive indices in the range $3.7$-$4.8$ and densities up to $9.3~\mathrm{g\,cm^{-3}}$. Using full Mie theory, we identify a range of TMD particle radii that support stable axial and radial magnetic quadrupole trapping in a bottle-beam configuration. We predict that for WS$_2$ particles with a mass of $0.5 \times 10^{12}\,\mathrm{amu}$, one can expect suppression of the scattering rate relative to the mechanical frequency down to $Γ/Ω\simeq 0.02$. This corresponds to a coherence time extended by approximately three orders of magnitude compared with silica particles of the same mass trapped in conventional bright optical traps at UHV. Combined with significantly reduced internal heating, remaining well below the melting point of the material, dark trapping of resonant TMD macroscopic particles emerges as a promising platform for exploring quantum physics with large masses.
