On plasma crystal formation

It is shown that charged dust grains in a sheath region with plasma ion flow can attract each other in the wake potential cone of an upstream dust particulate. Because of the periodic nature of the potential, periodic structures of the dust grains can be formed in a base plane of the cone.
