Description
Summary:We comprehend the role of imperfections in materials consisting of interacting particles, arising from different origins on their universal features. Specifically, we report the static and dynamic responses in a cluster of Coulomb interacting particles in two dimensions. Confined systems with pinned impurities are studied, and results are compared with those from irregularly trapped system of particles. While the disorder of first type leads to diffusive single-particle dynamics, the motion of a single particle in an irregular trap is chaotic but ballistic. The many-particle system does not differentiate between these two models of disorder insofar as their qualitative properties are concerned -- particularly for describing the thermal melting of the underlying Coulomb-"solid". However, quantitative differences persist -- the relaxation time scales differ significantly by tuning impurity concentration.
