Abstract
Two novel arrays of magnetic surface microtraps to construct 1D and 2D atomic magnetic lattices are proposed. The spatial distributions of the magnetic fields from current-carrying wires and their gradients and curvatures are calculated, respectively. Our study shows that these arrays of magnetic surface microtraps with a minimal non-zero B-value at each well center can be used to form 1D and 2D atomic magnetic lattices, or to realize arrays of BEC, even to prepare photonic crystals.
