摘要
We study the spatiotemporal cooperative microexcitations in quasi-2D cold dusty-plasma liquids from the view of the coupled subexcitable nonlinear dynamical system. Under the interplay of thermal noise and mutual coupling, cooperative fast-particle clusters are excited in the xyt space. The fast hopping plays a major role in the superdiffusion with non-Gaussian velocity distribution and causes the loss of bond-orientation memory. The size distribution of the excited clusters in the xyt space follows a similar avalanche-type power-law relation as in other subexcitable systems.
