In this work, we study the near-field radiative energy, linear-momentum, and angular-momentum transfer from a current-biased graphene to nanoparticles. The electric current through the graphene sheet induces nonequilibrium fluctuations, causing energy and momentum transfer even in the absence of a temperature difference. The inherent spin-momentum locking of graphene surface plasmons leads to an in-plane torque perpendicular to the direction of the electric current. In the presence of a temperature difference, the energy transfer is greatly enhanced while the lateral force and torque remains within the same order. Our work explores the potential of utilizing current-biased graphene to manipulate nanoparticles.
