Neutral gas sympathetic cooling of an ion in a Paul trap

Kuang Chen, Scott T. Sullivan, Eric R. Hudson

A single ion immersed in a neutral buffer gas is studied. An analytical model is developed that gives a complete description of the dynamics and steady-state properties of the ions…

Measurement of the Coulomb Logarithm in a Radio-Frequency Paul Trap

Kuang Chen, Scott T. Sullivan, Wade G. Rellergert +1

Samples of ultracold 174 Yb+ ions, confined in a linear radio-frequency Paul trap, are heated via self-induced micromotion interruption, while their temperature, density, and there…

The role of electronic excitation in cold atom-ion chemistry

Scott T Sullivan, Wade G Rellergert, Svetlana Kotochigova +1

The role of electronic excitation in charge exchange chemical reactions between ultracold Ca atoms and Ba ions, confined in a hybrid trap, is studied. This prototypical system…

A novel time-of-flight mass spectrometer using radial extraction from a linear quadrupole trap for atomic, molecular, and chemical physics

Steven J. Schowalter, Kuang Chen, Wade G. Rellergert +2

We demonstrate the implementation of a simple time-of-flight (ToF) mass spectrometer with medium-mass resolution () geared towards the demands of atomic, molecular, and…
