Direct observation of Coulomb crystals and liquids in strongly coupled rf dusty plasmas

Chu, J. H., I, Lin·1994·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

The strongly coupled dusty plasmas are formed by suspending negatively charged ${\mathrm{SiO}}_{2}$ fine particles with 10 \ensuremath{\mu}m diameter in weakly ionized rf Ar discharges. The Coulomb crystals and liquids are directly observed for the first time using an optical microscope. By properly controlling the system parameters, hexagonal, fcc and bcc crystal structures and solids with coexisting different crystal structures can be formed. Increasing the rf power causes the transition to the more disordered liquid state.

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.
