Structural phase transitions and topological defects in ion Coulomb crystals
Heather L. Partner, Ramil Nigmatullin, Tobias Burgermeister +7
We use laser-cooled ion Coulomb crystals in the well-controlled environment of a harmonic radiofrequency ion trap to investigate phase transitions and defect formation. Topological…
Dynamics of topological defects in ion Coulomb crystals
Heather L. Partner, Ramil Nigmatullin, Tobias Burgermeister +5
We study experimentally and theoretically the properties of structural defects (kink solitons) in two-dimensional ion Coulomb crystals. We show how different types of kink solitons…
Symmetry Breaking and Topological Defect Formation in Ion Coulomb Crystals
Karsten Pyka, Jonas Keller, Heather L. Partner +9
Symmetry breaking phase transitions play an important role in nature. When a system traverses such a transition at a finite rate, its causally disconnected regions choose the new b…
A high-precision rf trap with minimized micromotion for an In+ multiple-ion clock
Karsten Pyka, Norbert Herschbach, Jonas Keller +1
We present an experiment to characterize our new linear ion trap designed for the operation of a many-ion optical clock using 115-In^+ as clock ions. For the characterization of th…
Linear Paul trap design for an optical clock with Coulomb crystals
Norbert Herschbach, Karsten Pyka, Jonas Keller +1
We report on the design of a segmented linear Paul trap for optical clock applications using trapped ion Coulomb crystals. For an optical clock with an improved short-term stabilit…
Momentum-Resolved Bragg Spectroscopy in Optical Lattices
P. T. Ernst, S. Götze, J. S. Krauser +4
Strongly correlated many-body systems show various exciting phenomena in condensed matter physics such as high-temperature superconductivity and colossal magnetoresistance. Recentl…
