Two microscopic particles irradiated by light field influence each other by the forces coursed by the dipole-dipole interaction. The interaction changes also the resonance frequencies of the particles. We show that the dipole forces between atoms, molecules or dielectric particles irradiated by laser light play an important role at distances between the particles about or less the light wavelength. We discuss the properties of the near-field forces, including their dependence on direction and polarization of the laser light. We conclude that the near-field forces can be responsible for farmation of dimers in dense atomic gases. The near-field forces can be also used for control the motion of dielectric particles on micro and nanometer scale.

In order to improve transmittance and response properties, various compositions of light controllable films were prepared by phase separation method. The optical and response properties were measured with the variation of PMMA/suspension ratio and block copolymer/light polarizing particles. According to the increase of the PMMA/suspension ratio, the separated droplets of suspension were interconnected in the film. Decay time was 2.6 sec when PMMA/suspension ratio was 0.5 : 1 and ΔT(difference of the transmittance at OFF/ON states) was reduced with increasing of the ratio of PMMA/suspension. On block copolymer/light polarizing particles ratio variation, the highest transmittance of the film was 67.4% when its ratio was 0.6 : 1 and decay time was varied from 2.15 to 46.6 sec as block copolymer content increased 0.2 : 1 to 1 : 1.

An electret fiber with a dipole charge distribution was used to capture charged ultrafine particles in this study. Brownian diffusion and Coulombic force are the dominant collection mechanisms in the electret filtration of charged ultrafine particles. The interaction between Brownian diffusion and Coulombic force for the deposition of ultrafine particles onto a dipolarly charged fiber is studied by solving the convective diffusion equation including Coulombic force as an external force, and the numerical results are compared with the experimental data. As a result, it is shown that there is a negative interaction between Brownian diffusion and Coulombic force, i.e., Coulombic capture efficiency is reduced with decreasing Pe. These results suggest that Brownian diffusion and Coulombic capture efficiency, $\eta$$_{CD}$ is not a simple sum of Brownian diffusion efficiency, $\eta$$_{D}$ and Coulombic capture efficiency, $\eta$$_{C}$.

Spherical $CeO_2:Ho^{3+}/Yb^{3+}$ particles were synthesized using spray pyrolysis, and the upconversion (UC) properties were investigated with changing the preparation conditions and the infrared pumping power. The resulting particles had a size of about $1{\mu}m$ and hollow structure. The prepared $CeO_2:Ho^{3+}/Yb^{3+}$ particles exhibited intense green emission due to the $^5F_4/^5S_2{\rightarrow}^5I_8$ transition of $Ho^{3+}$ and showed weak red or near-IR peaks. In terms of achieving the highest UC emission, the optimal concentrations of $Ho^{3+}$ and $Yb^{3+}$ were 0.3% and 2.0%, respectively. The UC emission intensity of prepared $CeO_2:Ho^{3+}/Yb^{3+}$ particles had a linear relationship with crystallite size and concentration quenching was caused by dipole-dipole interaction between the same ions. Based on the dependency of UC emission on the pumping power, the observed green upconversion was achieved through a typical two-photon process and concluded that the main energy transfer from $Yb^{3+}$ to $Ho^{3+}$ was involved in the ground-state adsorption (GSA) process.

We developed a new cholesteric material for bistable LCDs. The material consists of dispersion of sub-micron ferroelectric particles in cholesteric host. We found that the doping of the cholesteric with ferroelectric particles in small concentration (< 1% by weight) strongly improved basic characteristics of the transition between poly-domain planar texture and focal conic texture. Decrease of the driving voltage, increase of the reflection contrast and the steepness of the transition is associated with giant steady dipole and dielectric constant of the ferroelectric particles.

The effect of silver (Ag) nano-particles on OLEDs was investigated by using a finite difference time domain (FDTD) tool. The proposed OLEDs employed Ag nanoparticles thermally deposited in a high vacuum on a cathode. The emission rate of the exciton was improved by 1.8 fold compared to the conventional OLEDs without Ag nano-particles. Less spacing between the dipole source and the Ag nano-particles resulted in a larger emission rate of the exciton in the OLED with nano-particles. The size of the Ag nano-particles was proportional to the emission rate of the exciton in a range of nano-meter scale of nano-particles. The enhancement of the emission rate of the exciton due to Ag nano-particles caused the improvement in the efficiency of the proposed OLED.

Granular Fe-SiO films were prepared by co-evaporating in a vacuum. Magnetic properties of the films were investigated by $M\"{o}ssbauer$ and magnetization measurments. The $M\"{o}ssbauer$ data suggest that the films consist of amorphous Fe-Si alloy particles with the size of nanometers. Superparamagnetic magnetization curves were well reproduced by considering the distribution of particle size and the magnetic dipole interaction between particles as the mean field.

Fe-Co-Ni particles with an average size of 45 and 135 nm are characterized in terms of magnetic phase transformation and magnetic properties at room temperature. BCC structure of Fe-Co-Ni spherical particles can be synthesized from Fe-Co-Ni-Al-Cu precursor films by heating at 600-80$0^{\circ}C$ for the phase separation of Fe-Co rich Fe-Co-Ni particles, followed by a post heating at $600^{\circ}C$ for 5 hours. The average size of nanoparticles was directly determined by the thickness of precursor films. Exchange interactive hysteresis was observed for the nano-composite (Fe-Co-Ni)+(Fe-Ni-Al) films resulting from the short exchange interface between ferromagnetic Fe-Co-Ni particles surrounded by almost papramagnetic Ni-Al-Fe matrix. Arraying the isolated Fe-Co-Ni nano-particles in a random arrangement on $Al_2O_3$substrate the particle assembly showed a behavior of dipole interactive ferromagnetic clusters depending on their volume and inter-particle distance.

Numerical analysis has been conducted to characterize deposition rates of aerosol particles onto a heated, rotating disk with electrostatic effect under the laminar flow field. The particle transport mechanisms considered were convection, Brownian diffusion, gravitational settling, thermophoresis and electrophoresis. The aerosol particles were assumed to have a Boltzmann charge distribution. The electric potential distribution needed to calculate local electric fields around the disk was calculated from the Laplace equation. The Coulomb, the image, the dielectrophoretic and the dipole-dipole forces acting on a charged particle near the conducting rotating disk were included in the analysis. The averaged particle deposition vetocities and their radial distributions on the upper surface of the disk were calculated from the particle concentration equation in a Eulerian frame of reference, along with a rotation speed of 0∼1,000rpm, a temperature difference of 0∼5K and a charged disk voltage of 0∼1000V.Finally, an approximate deposition velocity model for the rotating disk was suggested. The present numerical results showed relatively good agreement with the results of the present approximate model and the available experimental data.

Steady flow of an ER (electro-rheological) fluid in a two-dimensional electrode channel is studied by using FEM. Hydrodynamic interactions between the particles and the fluid are calculated by solving the Navier-Stokes equation combined with the equation of motion for each particle, where the multi-body electrostatic interaction is described by using point-dipole model. Motion of the particles in the ER fluid is elucidated in conjunction with the mechanisms of the flow resistance and the increase of viscosity. The ER effects have been studied by varying the Mason number and volume fraction of particles. These parameters have an influence on the formation of the chains resulting in the changes of the fluid velocity and the effective viscosity of ER fluids.
