Crystal and fluid modes in three-dimensional finite dust clouds

The spectral properties of three-dimensional dust clusters confined in gaseous discharges are investigated using both a fluid mode description and the normal mode analysis (NMA). The modes are analysed for crystalline clusters as well as for laser-heated fluid-like clusters. It is shown that even fo...
