摘要
The structure of a three-dimensional Coulomb crystal formed with 1.4-mu m particles grown in a plasma was analyzed by observation from the top and the side using two CCD video cameras at the same time and at the same position. The crystal structure was generally face-centered orthorhombic with (001) planes parallel to an electrode. Under coexistence with the close-packed structure in a one-dimensional external force, the transition between the two structures occulted through the slip of planes perpendicular to the force direction with constant interplane distance.
