The aim is to assess various magnetostatic trap-field configurations for neutral atoms.
Characterized basic trap configurations using exact expressions for the field and multipole polynomial expansions.
Derived polynomial terms for the field components by comparing with Taylor-series expansions.
Presented contours of magnetic field strength for different trap configurations.
Identified trap configurations suitable for confining neutral atoms under certain conditions.
Demonstrated that the effective potential can be isotropic to second order.
Outlined the differences in desired properties between traps for neutral atoms and hot plasmas.
