温度驱动的囚禁离子结构相变及其实验检测
Temperature driven structural phase transition for trapped ions and its experimental detection
摘要:
囚禁离子形成的维格纳晶体可以发生结构相变,这只取决于经典水平上的力学条件。代替这个经典的结果,我们表明,通过考虑量子和热涨落,结构相变可以单独由系统的温度变化驱动。我们使用重整化群方法和路径积分形式主义确定了一个有限温度的相图被困离子,并提出了一个实验方案来观察预测的温度驱动的结构相变,这是在目前的离子阱技术的范围内。
英文摘要:
A Wigner crystal formed with trapped ion can undergo structural phase transition, which is determined only by the mechanical conditions on a classical level. Instead of this classical result, we show that through consideration of quantum and thermal fluctuation, a structural phase transition can be solely driven by change of the system's temperature. We determine a finite-temperature phase diagram for trapped ions using the renormalization group method and the path integral formalism, and propose an experimental scheme to observe the predicted temperature-driven structural phase transition, which is well within the reach of the current ion trap technology.
