Charged microparticles confined in electrodynamic traps evolve into strongly coupled
Coulomb systems (SCCS) which are the subject of current investigation. Recent results with …

Coulomb crystals provide a unique environment in which to study ion-neutral gas-phase
reactions. In these cold, trapped ensembles, we are able to study the kinetics and dynamics …

The demand for efficient preparation methods for dual-species ion crystals is rapidly
expanding across quantum technology and fundamental physics applications with trapped …

Volume 54 of the Advances in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics Series contains ten
contributions, covering a diversity of subject areas in atomic, molecular and optical physics …

We report the optical trapping of multiple ions localized at individual lattice sites of a one-
dimensional optical lattice. We observe a fivefold increased range of axial dc-electric field …

The reaction of the acetylene cation (C2H2+) with acetonitrile (CH3CN) is measured in a
linear Paul ion trap coupled to a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. C2H2+ and CH3CN are …

For conventional ion traps, the trapping potential is close to independent of the electronic
state, providing confinement for ions dependent primarily on their charge-to-mass ratio Q/m …

The gas-phase ion-neutral reaction of CCl++ benzene (C 6 H 6) is investigated using a
linear Paul ion trap coupled to a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Low collision energies are …

Mechano-optical transducers are devices that convert a force or displacement signal to an
optical one, enabling ultrasensitive mechanical detection. Currently, ultraweak DC force …

We present a practical scheme for the efficient preparation of laser–cooled 43 Ca+ ions in
an ion trap. Our approach integrates two well-established methods: isotope-selective …
