Abstract

There are two types of complex plasma mono-layers. First, there is an isolated monolayer, suspended electrostatically against the pull of gravity. Most current mono-layer experiments are of this type. They include studies of the wave propagation and dispersion analysis, some melting experiments as well as sublimation and crystal defect studies. Second, there is an attached monolayer (e.g., consisting of smaller micro-particles) located at the top of another mono-layer (of larger particles), or on the top of a system containing several lattice planes (of larger particles) or a system of larger particles in an uncorrelated state (in this case it is possible to crystallize the mono-layer and not the background complex plasma). Mono-layer crystals are determined by binary dust interactions if their in-plane size is less than L cr or by collective dust interactions in the opposite case. Dust particles in the double-layer structure always interact in the direction perpendicular the plane by the binary particle interactions of each grain with other grains. Experiments of the second type (the attached mono-layer) have not been reported in the literature so far, but promise to be very interesting from a basic physics point if view.
