Electric-field calculations
Electric potentials in ion traps: stray fields, curvature and one-dimensional ion-position calculations.
Overview
efields computes the electric potential distribution of ions in a Paul trap. It supports stray-field and curvature parameters and solves for the one-dimensional ion equilibrium positions using the James method.
