  We stabilize monoatomic carbon chains in water by attaching them to gold
nanoparticles (NPs) by means of the laser ablation process. Resulting
nanoobjects represent pairs of NPs connected by multiple straight carbon chains
of several nanometer lengths. If NPs at the opposite ends of a chain differ in
size, the structure acquires a dipole moment due to the difference in work
functions of the two NPs. We take advantage of the dipole polarisation of
carbon chains for ordering them by the external electric field. We deposit them
on a glass substrate by the sputtering method in the presence of static
electric fields of magnitudes up to 10^5 V/m. The formation of one-dimensional
carbyne quasi-crystals deposited on a substrate is evidenced by high-resolution
TEM and X-ray diffraction measurements. The original kinetic model describing
the dynamics of ballistically flowing nano-dipoles reproduces the experimental
diagram of orientation of the deposited chains.
