Abstract
We experimentally characterized a novel radio-frequency (rf) ion trap geometry formed by two concentric cylinders over a ground plane. These traps allow for optical and physical access over more than 2 pi solid angle reaching 91% and 96% of 4 respectively in two of the three traps tested. We discuss fabrication of the traps, their characterization using single laser cooled 24Mg+ ions and some potential applications of similar trap structures in quantum optics, sensing and microscopy.Citation
