Planar electric trap for neutral particles

Atomic Physics 2015-05-13 v1

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.
