This paper investigates the mechanism of self-stabilizing, three-dimensional Mie particle manipulation in water via an acoustic tweezer with a single transducer. A carefully designed acoustic lens is attached to the transducer to form an acoustic vortex, which provides angular momentum on the trappe...
