Micromotion-Induced Limit to Atom-Ion Sympathetic Cooling in Paul Traps

Micromotion-Induced Limit to Atom-Ion Sympathetic Cooling in Paul Traps

We present, and derive analytic expressions for, a fundamental limit to the sympathetic cooling of ions in radio-frequency traps using cold atoms. The limit arises from the work done by the trap electric field during a long-range ion-atom collision and applies even to cooling by a zero-temperature a...
