Computation of stability regions for the cylindrical ion trap with no octupole electric field as compared to the corresponding results of the Paul trap
The cylindrical ion trap is analyzed so that the octupole component of the electric field inside the trap is set to zero. As a consequence, the diameter to height ratio is computed to be 1.20 for which the quadrupole component of the cylindrical ion trap is dominant. Afterwards, it is concluded that the electric potential inside the trap as well as the corresponding stability regions are very similar to those obtained for an ideal Paul trap with pure quadrupole electric field. Furthermore, we drew a conclusion that the stability diagrams of the cylindrical ion trap without octupole term and the stability diagrams of the Paul trap have 5.6%, 3.7%, and 2.9% discrepancy for the first, second, and third stability diagrams, respectively. It should be noted that, expansion of the electric potential inside the cylindrical ion trap in terms of the multipole electric field components and making the advantages of the octupole term elimination has not been reported in the literature previously.
