Loading of large ion Coulomb crystals into a linear Paul trap incorporating an optical cavity

P Herskind, A Dantan, MB Langkilde-Lauesen… - Applied Physics B, 2008 - Springer
We report on the loading of large ion Coulomb crystals into a linear Paul trap incorporating a
high-finesse optical cavity (ℱ∼ 3000). We show that, even though the 3-mm diameter …

Radio frequency field-induced persistent long-range ordered structures in two-species ion Coulomb crystals

A Mortensen, E Nielsen, T Matthey… - Journal of Physics B …, 2007 - iopscience.iop.org
We report on the observations of strikingly persistent (lifetimes of∼ 10 s) three-dimensional
long-range ordered structures in the central 40 Ca+ ion component of 40 Ca+–44 Ca+ two …
