    "abstract": "We present a detailed theoretical study of the recent proposal for selective\nnanomanipulation of nanometric particles above a substrate using near-field\noptical forces [Chaumet {\\it et al.} Phys. Rev. Lett. {\\bf 88}, 123601 (2002)].\nEvanescent light scattering at the apex of an apertureless near-field probe is\nused to create an optical trap. The position of the trap is controlled on a\nnanometric scale via the probe and small objects can be selectively trapped and\nmanipulated. We discuss the influence of the geometry of the particles and the\nprobe on the efficiency of the trap. We also consider the influence of multiple\nscattering among the particles on the substrate and its effect on the\nrobustness of the trap.",
