Electrostatic deflection (molecular physics/nanotechnology)

In

carbon nanotubes

(CNTs) are typical ones for electrostatic deflections.

Mechanisms of electric deflection due to

electric polarization

can be understood as follows:

When a material is brought into an

molecular dipole moment and the electric field results an induced torque (T). Then this torque

tends to align the beam toward the direction of field.

In case of a cantilevered CNT, it would be bent to the field direction. Meanwhile the electrically induced

carbon nanotubes,^[3]
