Recrystallization in Finite 3-D Dust Clouds

The recrystallization process of a finite dust cloud is studied experimentally on the kinetic level. The temporal evolution of the coupling parameter allows to reveal that the cluster is molten while laser heated and recrystallizes when heating is switched OFF. The cooling rate can be deduced from t...

Description
Summary:The recrystallization process of a finite dust cloud is studied experimentally on the kinetic level. The temporal evolution of the coupling parameter allows to reveal that the cluster is molten while laser heated and recrystallizes when heating is switched OFF. The cooling rate can be deduced from the initial stage of recrystallization.
