We generate a new kind of azimuthal-variant vector field with a distribution of states of polarization (SoPs) described by the square of the azimuthal angle. Owing to asymmetrical SoPs distribution of this localized linearly polarized vector field, the tightly focused field exhibits a double half-moon shaped pattern with the localized elliptical polarization in the cross section of field at the focal plane. Moreover, we study the three-dimensional distributions of spin and orbital linear and angular momenta in the focal region. We numerically investigate the gradient force, radiation force, spin torque, and orbital torque on a dielectric Rayleigh particle produced by the tightly focused vector field. It is found that asymmetrical spinning and orbiting motions of trapped Rayleigh particles can be realized by the use of a tight vector field with power-exponent azimuthal-variant SoPs.
