Abstract We report some laser-cooling effects in a few172Yb+ ions held in a Paul trap. Pronounced cloud-to-crystal phase transitions have been observed as discontinuities in the Yb+ fluorescence spectrum of the 369 nm cooling transition. The first reported two-dimensional images of Yb+ clouds with evidence of crystal structure have been recorded using a photon-counting position-sensitive detector. An ion temperature of 100 mK has been estimated from the size of a single ion image. Step-wise cooling of a re-heated, few-ion Yb+ cloud was also observed.
