Abstract
Ordered dusty structures formed of spherical monodisperse and polydisperse grains are obtained for the first time in a nuclear-track plasma produced b y alpha -particles and fission fragments of Cf-252 nuclei passing through n eon or argon. A theoretical model of such a plasma is proposed. Monte Carlo computer simulations based on this model are carried out to explain the fo rmation of such structures.
