Experimental Study of Coulomb Crystallization in Dusty Plasma
Abstract
In this project we studied the lattice structure of dusty plasma Coulomb crystls formed in rectangular conductive grooves as a function of plasma temperature and density. The crystal appears to be made of mutually repulsive columns of grains confined by the walls of the groove. The columns are oriented along the direction of the electrode sheath electric field.
