Abstract

Recent experiments and numerical simulations have shown that a system of small dust particles immersed in a plasma forms crystalline structures (Coulomb crystals) when its kinetic energy becomes sufficiently small compared with its potential energy. Employing Yukawa potential to model the interparticle potential between dust particles, we have performed molecular dynamics (MD) simulation to obtain the phase diagram of such charged dust systems.
