| Popis: | It will soon become possible to create confined dusty plasmas in microgravity environments with particle numbers approaching 106. Very high plasma Γ’s are possible, Γ>103. Characteristic time and length scales for these systems are of the order 100 msec and 500 μm. Consequently the possibility now exists for observing microscopic dynamics in real time. We present molecular dynamics simulations of such a confined system under shock loading and discuss the nature of the microscopic deformations. |
