Abstract
The horizontal and vertical oscillation modes of monolayer plasma crystal a re investigated and are related to dust-dust and dust-plasma interactions. It is found that the dust particles in the plasma sheath excited by a biase d wire show parametric resonances. This parametric resonance is identified as the reason for the observed "sublimation" transition of the plasma cryst al from a solid to a gaslike state. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics.
