Pressure of Electromagnetic Radiation on Very Thin Conductive Fibers

In the optical range laser radiation is used to levitate, hold and transport microparticles using "laser tweezers". In the microwave range, the creation of such devices encounters great difficulties. These difficulties can be overcome by using the effect of the strong action of radiation on very thin conducting fibers - thin metal wires, graphite and semiconductor fibers. The efficiency factor of microwave radiation pressure for them is very large - hundreds and thousands. The theoretical conclusions are confirmed experimentally.
