Plasmas consisting exclusively of particles with a single sign of charge (eg, pure electron
plasmas and pure ion plasmas) can be confined by static electric and magnetic fields (in a …

Edited by internationally recognized authorities in the field, this expanded and updated new
edition of the bestselling Handbook, containing many new articles, is aimed at the design …

The physics of interacting quantum wires has attracted a lot of attention recently. When the
density of electrons in the wire is very low, the strong repulsion between electrons leads to …

We describe a configuration for a linear Paul rf ion trap. This trap can store a long string of
ions with a small second-order Doppler shift, comparable to that achieved with a single ion …

Crystalline, confined ionic systems exhibit well defined phase transitions as a function of the
anisotropy of the confining potential. The transitions from one to two dimensions, from two to …

THE possibility of creating ordered ion beams in high-energy storage rings1, 2 by means of
electron and laser cooling has opened up a new era in accelerator physics. The enhanced …

Crystalline confined systems of charges exhibit structural phase transitions as a function of
the anisotropy of the confining potential. A theory which describes these structural transitions …

Plasmas of Mg+ ions, containing more than 10 5 ions, have been observed to reach well-
ordered (crystalline) states by applying laser cooling. The crystals are highly elongated with …

We observed phase transitions and ordered structures of laser-cooled Mg+ ions stored in a
radio-frequency quadrupole storage ring with a diameter of 115 mm. The ions are confined …

Ensembles of cold atomic and molecular ions in ion traps prepared at millikelvin
temperatures by laser and sympathetic cooling have recently found considerable interest in …
