Abstract

A two-dimensional classical system of charged particles under parabolic confinement is an important theoretical model that helps researchers understand fundamental interactions, explore new materials and devices, and study collective phenomena in low-dimensional systems. Its significance extends across multiple disciplines ranging from solid-state physics to plasma research. In this work we show how a particular scaling of energy and length in dimensionless form enables one to simplify considerably the determination of the global minimum energy of the system. This process allows for the identification of key parameters that govern the behavior of the system without being influenced by its scale. Results for small finite systems of particles are reported in order to illustrate the approach.

抛物约束下二维经典带电粒子系统能量和长度的标度

抛物约束下的二维经典带电粒子系统是一个重要的理论模型，有助于研究人员理解基本相互作用，探索新材料和新器件，以及研究低维系统中的集体现象。它的重要性跨越多个学科，从固态物理到等离子体研究。在这项工作中，我们展示了无量纲形式的能量和长度的特定缩放如何使人们能够大大简化系统全局最小能量的确定。这个过程允许识别控制系统行为的关键参数，而不受其规模的影响。为了说明这种方法，还报道了有限小粒子系统的结果。

期刊介绍： Results in Physics is an open access journal offering authors the opportunity to publish in all fundamental and interdisciplinary areas of physics, materials science, and applied physics. Papers of a theoretical, computational, and experimental nature are all welcome. Results in Physics accepts papers that are scientifically sound, technically correct and provide valuable new knowledge to the physics community. Topics such as three-dimensional flow and magnetohydrodynamics are not within the scope of Results in Physics. Results in Physics welcomes three types of papers: 1. Full research papers 2. Microarticles: very short papers, no longer than two pages. They may consist of a single, but well-described piece of information, such as: - Data and/or a plot plus a description - Description of a new method or instrumentation - Negative results - Concept or design study 3. Letters to the Editor: Letters discussing a recent article published in Results in Physics are welcome. These are objective, constructive, or educational critiques of papers published in Results in Physics. Accepted letters will be sent to the author of the original paper for a response. Each letter and response is published together. Letters should be received within 8 weeks of the article''s publication. They should not exceed 750 words of text and 10 references.
