We study the translational motion of two interacting polarizable nanospheres in the presence of a laser field. Dependences of the resulting paths on geometry, viscosity of the medium, polarization, and wavelength of the incident field are discussed. It is found that in general clustering trajectories are more probable thus favoring agglomeration, and that viscosity and circular polarization of the applied field increase further the probability of clustering.

=1.5,
=0, and
=1050 nm, it amounts to a mere 6% of the radial force. - F. Claro, Phys. Rev. B 25, 7875 (1982).
