摘要
The applicability of Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) on strongly coupled complex plasmas (plasma crystals) in a RF discharge is discussed. A ballistic particle movement is observed and the particle velocity can be measured in all phase states. The results are in very good agreement with video based measurements. Phase transitions were studied in detail. A theoretically predicted hysteresis loop in the phase transitions were observed experimentally for the first time. The diffusive particle movement was studied by small angle light scattering. These measurements are also validated by video observations.
