This paper presents the formation of two-ion crystals for quantum metrology in a 7-tesla open-ring Penning trap. 40Ca+ ions are produced either internally by photoionization or externally in a (Paul-trap) source, transported through the strong magnetic field gradient of the superconducting solenoid, and captured in-flight with a mean kinetic energy of a few electronvolts with respect to the minimum of the Penning-trap potential well. Laser cooling of the two-ion crystal in a strong magnetic field towards reaching the quantum regime is also presented, with particular emphasis on the cooling of the radial modes.}, organization = {Spanish Government PID2019-104093GB-I00/AEI/10.013 39/501100011033}, organization = {Andalusian Government P18FR-3432 PTA2018-016573-I}, organization = {Fondo Operativo FEDER A-FQM-425-UGR18}, organization = {Spanish Government FPU17/02596}, organization = {University of Granada "Plan Propio -Programa de Intensificacion de la Investigacion" PP2017-PRI.I-04}, organization = {Laboratorios Singulares 2020}, organization = {European Research Council (ERC) European Commission 278648TRAPSENSOR MICINN/FEDER/UGR FPA2015-67694-P FPA2012-32076 UNGR10-1E501 UNGR13-1E-1830 EQC2018-005130-P}, organization = {Junta de Andalucia}, organization = {European Commission IE-5713 IE2017-5513}, organization = {Spanish MICINN ("Beatriz Galindo" Fellowship) BEAGAL18/00078}, organization = {German Research Foundation (DFG)}, organization = {European Commission SFB/CRC 1227}, publisher = {American Physical Society}, title = {Formation of two-ion crystals by injection from a Paul-trap source into a high-magnetic-field Penning trap}, doi = {10.1103/PhysRevA.105.052603}, author = {Berrocal Sánchez, Joaquín and Altozano, E. and Domínguez González, Francisco and Gutiérrez, M.
