Abstract
Oscillations in the one-dimensional chain consisting of rotatorlike particl es levitating in a plasma are studied. General equations of motion for such a chain are derived. It is demonstrated that new oscillation modes associa ted with the rotational degrees of freedom appear for such a configuration. The dispersion characteristics of the modes are analyzed. Collective oscil lations and equilibrium in lattices composed of cylindrical particles in a plasma are discussed.
