The range of electrostatic interactions controls precisely the mutual orientations of assembling charged nanoobjects. For nonspherically symmetric particles, polarization effects and induced dipoles can dominate charge-charge interactions. These charge-induced dipole interactions mediate orientation-specific aggregation of both oppositely and like-charged particles.
