The elastic scattering of light weakly-bound deuteron-like nuclei in the field of heavy targets has been studied for collision energies below and near the Coulomb barrier. Based on the assumption that the deuteron-like nucleus follows the projectile adiabatically along its classical trajectory [1], an analytical expression for the optical potential is derived which describes both, the (electrical) polarization as well as the breakup of the projectile in the field of the target. Detailed computations with this optical potential have been carried out for the elastic scattering of 6He + 208Pb at energies 14 MeV and 16 MeV near to the Coulomb barrier. It is demonstrated that the polarization of the weakly-bound deuteron-like nucleus leads to a clear decrease of the (elastic) scattering cross section in excellent agreement with a recent measurement by Sanchez-Benitez et al.
