Fig. 1. (a) The schematic of the trapped SSN nanoparticle, which is made of Si (magenta) and Si 3 N 4 (blue), with its long axis aligned to the optical axis (z -axis) of the trapping beam (red). The cross section in the x − y plane is a square of width W , and the aspect ratio A R is the ratio of height H to width W . (b) The effective refractive indices and birefringence of the SSN nanoparticles as a function of ρ . (c) Top-view and (d) side-view of SEM images of SSN nanoparticles with ρ = 0.2 , W = 450 nm , and A R = 2 .

Fig. 2. The relationship between the axial stiffness k z of SSN nanoparticles and the width W , aspect ratio A R under different ρ values. (a) ρ = 0.1 , (b) ρ = 0.2 , (c) ρ = 0.3 , (d) ρ = 0.4 , (e) ρ = 0.5 , (f) ρ = 0.6 , (g) ρ = 0.7 , (h) ρ = 0.8 , (i) ρ = 0.9 . The black pixels in the maps indicate the nanoparticle sizes that cannot be trapped in 3D due to excessive scattering forces.
