Experimental investigation of the melting transition of the plasma crystal
Abstract
Measurements of the melting transition of a Coulomb crystal consisting of dust particles immersed in an rf parallel plate discharge in helium were performed. The dust crystal is shown to be solid at higher gas pressure (120 Pa) and low discharge power (10--20 W). Reducing the gas pressure or increasing the discharge power leads to fluid states of the dust ensemble. Even gaslike states are observed at low pressures of about 40 Pa. The transition is attributed to an increasing effective particle temperature. The phase transition is compared with one-component-plasma and Yukawa models, and with basic predictions of theories for two-dimensional melting. \textcopyright{} 1996 The American Physical Society.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
