Theory of resonant radiation force exerted on nanostructures by optical excitation of their quantum states: From microscopic to macroscopic descriptions

@article{citeulike:2953395, abstract = {We establish a theoretical framework that provides a bridge between the microscopic to macroscopic descriptions of the radiation force (RF) under a quantum resonance condition.
