Coulomb stable structures of charged dust particles in a dynamical trap at atmospheric pressure in air

A mathematical simulation of a dust particle's behavior in the electrodynamic linear quadrupole trap with closing end electrodes allowed us to reveal several features of the phenomena. Regions of stable confinement of a single particle, in dependence of frequency and charge-to-mass ratio, were...
