Optimizing optical tweezers and achieving powerful traps has always been a challenging topic for researchers , since the trap stiffness increases with increasing laser power which may damage specimens , especially biological ones and cells . In this thesis , we introduce a special geometry and structure of particles that , have the possibility to increase the stiffness (strength) of the optical trap and cause the magnetic response of particles at optical frequencies . Special geometries such as a combination of dielectric particles with magnetic nanoparticles that emphasize the role of the laser magnetic field and lead to changes in the electrical and magnetic properties at the laser... 

Lithium is a soft, silvery-white alkali metal that is recognized as the lightest metal and the least dense solid element. The increasing demand for lithium, driven by the global shift towards electrification and sustainable energy solutions, has transformed this material into a crucial resource in the modern economy. Lithium has applications in various industries, including the nuclear industry. 6Li is used for the production of tritium, and 7Li, in the form of 7LiOH, is used to adjust the pH in light water reactors and as an anti-corrosion compound in fission reactors. In this study, the extraction of lithium from the aqueous phase using a Y-shaped microchannel was carried out, and the mass...
