Abstract
We demonstrate cooling of the center of mass motion of charged graphene nanoplatelets levitated in a quadrupole ion trap in high vacuum down to temperatures of 20 K. Parametric feedback based on optical measurements of particle motion was used to achieve the particle cooling at pressure Torr, and cooling along all three axes of motion was observed. Dependence of cooling on the electric fields was measured by varying DC voltages on a set of auxiliary electrodes used to spatially shift the trap minimum. Methods to calibrate mass and charge of the nanoplatelet by measuring its motion frequency dependence on discharge were also explored.
