Criteria of phase transitions in a complex plasma

Criteria of phase transitions in a complex plasma

New empirical rules for different phase transitions (including the melting of cubic lattices and the transitions between body-centered-cubic and face-centered-cubic structures) are proposed. The arrangements of charged macroparticles in a complex "dusty" plasma are numerically investigated...

Zusammenfassung:New empirical rules for different phase transitions (including the melting of cubic lattices and the transitions between body-centered-cubic and face-centered-cubic structures) are proposed. The arrangements of charged macroparticles in a complex "dusty" plasma are numerically investigated for the conditions of laboratory experiments on weakly ionized gas discharges.
