Inhomogeneity of dusty crystals and plasma diagnostics
arXiv:physics/9906061 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.60.5965
Abstract
Real dusty crystals are inhomogeneous due to the presence of external forces. We suggest approximations for calculations of different types of inhomogeneous DC (chain and DC with a few slabs) in the equilibrium state. The results are in a good agreement with experimental results and can be used as an effective diagnostic method for many dusty systems.
