Lane formation in 3D driven pair-ion plasmas: I Parallel External Forcing
TLDR
Baruah et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the influence of an external electric field on the behavior of a driven three-dimensional pair-ion plasmas (PIP) system and showed that the system undergoes a non-equilibrium phase transition from a disordered state to a lane formation state parallel to the field direction with increasing field strength.Abstract:
Lane formation dynamics of driven three-dimensional pair-ion plasmas (PIP) is investigated. Extensive Langevin dynamics simulation is performed to study the influence of an external electric field on the behaviour of the PIP system. In our model, one half of the particles are pushed into the field direction by an external force $\boldsymbol {F}_{A}$ while the other half are pulled into the opposite direction by an external force $\boldsymbol {F}_{B}$ . We show that if $\boldsymbol {F}_{A}$ and $\boldsymbol {F}_{B}$ are parallel, the system undergoes a non-equilibrium phase transition from a disordered state to a lane formation state parallel to the field direction with increasing field strength. The lanes are formed by the same kind of particles moving collectively with the field. The lane order parameter has been implemented to detect phase transition. Further, we show the lane formation in the presence of a time-varying external electric field. In particular, the effect of parallel forces are investigated. Unlike the previously reported two-dimensional case (Sarma, et al. , Phys. Plasmas , vol. 27, 2020, p. 012106; Baruah, et al. , J. Plasma Phys. , vol. 87, issue 2, 2021, p. 905870202), for the time-varying electric field case, spontaneous formation and the breaking of lanes are not observed for all values of applied frequencies; however, the orderness varies and spontaneous formation and breaking of lanes is observed for values close to a critical frequency $\omega _c$ . Further, some aspects of the lane formation dynamics of a PIP system are also studied in the presence of an external magnetic field, which reveals that the presence of an external magnetic field accelerates the lane formation process and introduces a drift of the lanes in a direction perpendicular to both electric and magnetic fields. read more

TL;DR: The electrostatic interaction between oppositely charged particles can be tuned such that large ionic colloidal crystals form readily, with the approach to controlling opposite-charge interactions facilitating the production of binary crystals of micrometre-sized particles, which could find use as advanced materials for photonic applications.

Electrostatic waves in a paired fullerene-ion plasma.
TL;DR: Three kinds of electrostatic modes are experimentally observed to propagate along magnetic-field lines for the first time in the pair-ion plasma and a new mode with the phase lag about pi appears in an intermediate-frequency band between the frequency ranges of the acoustic and plasma waves.
