Jerome,

You mean towards larger values of RC, right?

If this is not the case, does that depend on the selection of e? If I use e(-1 0 0) as the axis, does the positive force mean the ion tends to move towards lower values of x?

Thanks,

Parisa

No, it means that the ion will move towards larger values of x.
