摘要：

Experiments under microgravity conditions were carried out to study "condensed" (liquid and crystalline) states of a colloidal plasma (ions, electrons, and charged microspheres). Systems with similar to 10(6) microspheres were produced. The observed systems represent new forms of matter-quasineutral, self-organized plasmas-the properties of which are largely unexplored. In contrast to laboratory measurements, the systems under microgravity are clearly three dimensional (as expected); they exhibit stable vortex flows, sometimes adjacent to crystalline regions, and a central "void," free of microspheres.
