We study topological defects [1], so called kinks, in Coulomb crystals consisting of Mg-Ions. We demonstrate that the appearance of such defects, as well as the normal mode spectrum of the crystal and escape directionalities depend on the trap potential. Depending on defect type and anharmonic contributions to the trap potential, the defects get a preferred escape direction [2].
Linear surface electrode traps offer one possibility to control the trapping potential up to higher orders. We present numerical calculated control potentials, that are modifiable on relevant time scales of the crystal. This system offers a promising platform to further study and exploit the properties of such topological defects.
