Figure 5-13: ωˆz vs. Ω for an isolated macroion at a drive voltage of V = 255 V. The data<br />

for 0 V and 2.5 V come from the same ion. The fit was done only for data above 1500<br />

Hz; data below this frequency begin diverging from this fit because the pseudopotential<br />

approximation no longer holds.<br />

Figure 5-14: Ion displacement from the well center for two ions in neighboring wells, as a<br />

function of drive frequency. Due to charge asymmetry, the maximum displacements of the<br />

two ions differ by a factor of ten. The drive voltage is 350 V. The model breaks down for<br />

large displacements (high trap frequencies); fits only include data below Ω/2π = 2500 Hz.<br />

Error bars are dominated by the intrinsic error in determining the ion position from the<br />

ccd camera image.<br />
