Abstract

Plasma crystals are 3-D structures made of dust particles produced in laboratory low ionized gases. The confinement of the dust particles leads to self-ordering with symmetries which depend on gas discharge parameters, electrode geometry or dust particle features. A survey of plasma crystal symmetry observed in low pressure gas discharges is carried out..

Keywords
