Abstract

In this paper, we consider the Coulomb crystals in linear ion trap with a nonlinear dissipative force induced by optical radiation. We discuss a relation between 2D and 3D ion crystals formation and the crystalline units’ initial conditions. A phase diagram of the Coulomb crystal configurations is constructed. We introduce a cross size and surface area metrics to define a Coulomb crystals dimension sensitivity to the initial conditions and show the hysteresis-like-type phase transition between 2D and 3D configurations.
