Laser-induced melting of two-dimensional dusty plasma system in RF discharge

Abstract We present a detailed analysis of experimental study, which shows clear evidence of a two-stage melting process of a quasi-two-dimensional dusty plasma system in a high-frequency gas discharge. We accurately calculated global parameters of the orientational and translational order, as well...
