摘要
A chain of singly charged particles confined by a harmonic potential exhibits a structural transition to a zigzag configuration when the radial potential frequency is at a critical value, which depends on the particle number. This structural change is a phase transition of second order, whose order parameter is the ions' transverse displacement from the chain axis. The transition is driven by transverse, short-wavelength vibrational modes. At ultra-low temperatures the linear-zigzag instability is a quantum phase transition of the same universality class of Ising models. [GRAPHICS] .
