Radiation and dynamics of a nanoparticle in equilibrium background radiation upon translational–rotational motion

Resumo

We have obtained general expressions for the intensity of radiation and tangential force of a small polarizable particle in the process of translational–rotational motion in equilibrium radiation background (thermalized photon gas) of a certain temperature at an arbitrary relative orientation of the linear and angular velocity vectors. It is shown that, in a cold vacuum background, the translational velocity of particle is independent of time and the intensity of its spontaneous emission is determined by the angular velocity and imaginary part of the particle polarizability.
