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

A prerequisite for laser cooling a molecular anion, which has not been achieved so far, is the
precise knowledge of the relevant transition frequencies in the cooling scheme. To …

We evaluate the performance of multipole, linear Paul traps for the purpose of studying cold
ion–atom collisions. A combination of numerical simulations and analysis based on the virial …

An equally spaced linear chain of ions provides a test-bed for studying the defect formation
during a topological phase transition from a linear to a zig-zag configuration. By using a …

Radio-frequency (RF) linear multipole traps have been shown to be very sensitive to mis-
positioning of their electrodes, which results in a symmetry breaking and leads to extra local …

The study of the physics of controllable and isolated systems with long range binary
interactions is of great importance for understanding complex systems and their interactions …
