| Ensembles of trapped ions can be studied using numerical simulations, which can provide reliable data on molecular dynamics of ion sets, as well as on geometry of such ensembles in equilibrium state. A numerical model used for such simulations is presented and discussed. This includes various approaches to modeling the trap's potential and cooling mechanisms. Several examples of solutions obtained in such calculations are presented. |
