Mechanical forces exerted by an emitting dipole on the interface between two media with different dielectric susceptibilities are analyzed for different distances between the dipole and the interface. Estimations of the force values are given based on known molecular polarizabilities for inelastic processes such as Raman scattering and fluorescence including those that occur near metal structures.
Key words: radiation force / Maxwell stress tensor / dipole field
