Abstract
This paper investigates the dynamics of crystalline clusters observed in Molecular Dynamics (MD) studies conducted earlier (Yadav et al., 2023) for ultra-cold neutral plasmas. An external oscillatory forcing is applied for this purpose, and the evolution is tracked with the help of MD simulations using the open-source LAMMPS software. Interesting observations relating to cluster dynamics are presented. The formation of a pentagonal arrangement of particles is also reported.
期刊介绍:
Physica D (Nonlinear Phenomena) publishes research and review articles reporting on experimental and theoretical works, techniques and ideas that advance the understanding of nonlinear phenomena. Topics encompass wave motion in physical, chemical and biological systems; physical or biological phenomena governed by nonlinear field equations, including hydrodynamics and turbulence; pattern formation and cooperative phenomena; instability, bifurcations, chaos, and space-time disorder; integrable/Hamiltonian systems; asymptotic analysis and, more generally, mathematical methods for nonlinear systems.
