Cold trapped molecular ions and hybrid platforms for ions and neutral particles

Markus Deiß, Stefan Willitsch, Johannes Hecker Denschlag

We review recent progress in the field of cold trapped molecular ions. A new generation of collision and cold chemistry experiments between atoms and ions has emerged, where cold a…

Experimental implementation of laser cooling of trapped ions in strongly inhomogeneous magnetic fields

Christian Mangeng, Yanning Yin, Richard Karl +1

We demonstrate the Doppler laser cooling of Ca ions confined in a segmented linear Paul trap in the presence of a strong quadrupolar magnetic field generated by two perm…

Optimized strategies for the quantum-state preparation of single trapped nitrogen molecular ions

Aleksandr Shlykov, Mikolaj Roguski, Stefan Willitsch

This work examines optimized strategies for the preparation of single molecular ions in well-defined rotational quantum states in an ion trap with the example of the molecular nitr…

Charge transfer of polyatomic molecules in ion-atom hybrid traps: Stereodynamics in the millikelvin regime

Alexandre Voute, Alexander Dörfler, Laurent Wiesenfeld +4

Rate constants for the charge transfer reaction between NH and Rb in the mK regime are measured in an ion-atom hybrid trap and are found to be lower than the Langev…
