Trapping and Sympathetic Cooling of Boron Ions

Atomic Physics 2016-10-03 v1

Abstract

We demonstrate the trapping and sympathetic cooling of B+^{+} ions in a Coulomb crystal of laser-cooled Ca+^{+}, We non-destructively confirm the presence of the both B+^+ isotopes by resonant excitation of the secular motion. The B+^{+} ions are loaded by ablation of boron and the secular excitation spectrum also reveals features consistent with ions of the form Bn+_{n}^{+}.
