Description

A simple system of a two-dimensional (2D) strongly coupled plasma has been developed by using charged fine particles in an oil suspension. The fine silica (SiO2) particles placed on the bottom of a concave electrode where silicon oil is filled are charged up by applying a voltage with respect to the upper glass electrode, which is coated by electro-conductive film (ITO). The particles are confined on the oil surface by the surface tension and the electric field between the electrodes. The long time evolution of Coulomb crystal growth was observed
