摘要
Melting of a monolayer plasma crystal in a radio-frequency discharge with no particles suspended above or below is studied. The experimental data are compared with results of molecular dynamics simulations and theory. It is shown that the melting is caused by the resonance coupling between the longitudinal and the transverse dust-lattice wave modes, due to the interaction of particles with the plasma wakes.
