(color online) Trajectory simulations for sodium atoms in 25p state (a) and in 25s state (b) at the rod pair of applied potential ±50 V. (a) Trajectories that have large deflections as denoted by D, E, and F, and possess small alterations labeled by A, B, and C. (b) The atoms are deflected only a little at A, B, C, and E, but a lot at D, showing a deflection property sensitive to the initial position along y.
