Ion Crystals Produced by Laser and Sympathetic Cooling in a Linear RF Ion Trap

A detailed investigation of ion crystals produced by laser and sympathetic cooling in a linear RF trap has been conducted. The laser cooling methods were examined and applied to the trapped ^24Mg^(positive) ions. The crystals produced by the laser cooling were studied, including the dependence on R...
