In this thesis, we had derived a general formula that described the frictional torque acting on a gyrotropic nanoparticle near a nonreciprocal medium using fluctuation-dissipation theorem (FDT). The expression is a generalisation of previous results in isotropic vacuum to anisotropic vacuum where ro...
