Description
The coupling between transverse and longitudinal dust-lattice modes due to the particle-wake interactions and vertical dust charge gradient is considered. It is shown that the dust-lattice waves can be subjected to a specific instability, the criterion for which has been derived. This instability can explain experimentally observed spontaneous excitation of vibrational modes in a plasma crystal when the pressure is decreased below a critical value
