BA6:Molecular Dynamics Simulation

of

Ion Trapping

This work examined how ions react when placed in an electromagnetic trap through a molecular dynamics simulation. Both the Paul and Penning trap can be utilized. The formation of crystals in either Mathieu stability region can be throughly examined. The software is available for the Windows platform. A Hypertext version of the documentation is also available.
