Planar electric trap for neutral particles
arXiv:0903.4955 · doi:10.1143/JJAP.48.096505
Abstract
A new geometry to trap neutral particles with an ac electric field using a simple electrodes structure is described. In this geometry, all electrodes are placed on a single chip plane, while particles are levitated above the chip. This provides an easy construction of the trap and a good optical access to the trap.
