Plasma Crystals – Structure and Dynamics∗)
نویسنده
چکیده
This overview describes the confinement and structure of two-dimensional plasma crystals. Phonons and Mach cones in monolayer systems can be used for diagnostic purposes. Three-dimensional plasma crystals are found as multilayer systems or as Yukawa balls. The differences between Coulomb and Yukawa balls are described by means of a simple model. Optical diagnostic methods for studying dynamical phenomena in threedimensional plasma crystals are discussed.

Electrically switchable cylindrical Fresnel lens based on holographic polymer-dispersed liquid crystals using a Michelson interferometer
Fabricating an electrically switchable cylindrical Fresnel lens based on holographic polymer-dispersed liquid crystals (H-PDLC) using a Michelson interferometer is reported. Simplicity of the method and possibility of fabricating different focal length lenses in a single set up are among the advantages of the method. It is demonstrated that the Fresnel structured zone plate acts as a cylindrica...
متن کاملUnderstanding the Effect of Hydrogen Surface Passivation and Etching on the Shape of Silicon Nanocrystals
One of the significant challenges in the use of nanocrystals, is the control of crystal shape when grown from the gas-phase. Recently, the Kortshagen group has succeeded in generating cubic Si nanocrystals in a nonequilibrium plasma. In this paper we consider the energetics of various shaped Si nanocrystals, and the role that hydrogen surface termination plays. We consider cube, truncated octah...
متن کاملDesign and Analysis of a Novel Hexagonal Shaped Channel Drop Filter Based on Two-Dimensional Photonic Crystals
In this paper a new optical channel drop filter (CDF) based on two dimensional (2-D) photonic crystals (PhC) with hexagonal shaped structure is proposed and numerically demonstrated by using the finite-difference-time-domain (FDTD) and plane-wave-expansion (PWE) techniques. Photonic crystals (PhCs) are artificial dielectric nanostructure materials in which a periodic modulation of the material ...
متن کاملCharge gradient effects on modulated dust lattice wave packets in dusty plasma crystals
Nonlinear Dust lattice modes are studied in a hexagonal two-dimensional dusty plasma lattice, in presence of charge gradient of dust particles. In this lattice, such gradients affect nonlinear behavior of dust lattice waves. The amplitude modulation of off-plane transverse dust lattice wave packets is investigated considering the anisotropy of interactions, caused by the height-dependent char...
متن کاملSperm freeze-drying; effects on sperm parameters
Today, sperm cryopreservation is a routine practice in infertility clinics. One of the alternative methods to preserve sperm is freeze-drying. This process consists of three steps. The first step is sample freezing, during which the solvent is separated from the solvent. Water forms ice crystals and the solute is placed between the ice crystals. Freezing may be done in a separate device or in a...
