Axions in theory are uncharged, spin 0, very light particles, and have a very small scattering cross section when interacting with photons.
But there is a very interesting article about a strong enhanced scattering of neutral particles. "Resonant radiation pressure on neutral particles in a waveguide"- arxiv.org/pdf/physics/0103017
The article above talks about a ressonant backscattering of neutral particles, where under right conditions of frequency, a "arbitrarily small" polarizable scatter in a waveguide can have a huge effective scattering cross section.
Well, the axion has the electrodynamic property of produce electromagnectic polarization due to axion-photon mixing, so axion could be accelerated by resonant geometrical scattering inside waveguides under critical frequency of unimodal propagation, generating a axion thrust?
