Abstract The 7Li+ ion is one of the most important candidates for verifying QED theory and obtaining the precise value of the fine-structure constant α. However, direct laser cooling of trapped Li+ ions will lead to strong background fluorescence which will influence the spectrum detection. The sympathetic cooling technique is a good choice to solve the problem. In this work, we report sympathetic cooling of 7Li+ ions to few mK using 40Ca+ ions in a linear Paul trap. A mixed ion crystal of 40Ca+ ions and 7Li+ ions are obtained. We also analyze the motion frequency spectra of pure 40Ca+ ions and mixed ions.
