AI 中文摘要
本文通过实验和朗之万动力学模拟，研究了被限制在各向异性势阱中的带电微粒子构成的有限尘埃等离子体团簇。随着约束各向异性程度的增加，该团簇会发生结构转变，从近各向同性的同心壳层结构变为线性链结构。采用奇异值分解对团簇的时空模式进行分析，在较弱的约束各向异性下，有两种模式占主导地位：模式1对应团簇的呼吸型振荡，模式2代表团簇的方位角旋转运动，二者合计携带约99%的信号能量。随着各向异性程度增加，模式2的主导性降低，模式1的主导性增强，这种模式重构伴随着粒子位移统计的非高斯性增强，表现为非高斯参数在较长时间内保持正值。与此同时，模式1主导性的增强和模式2的被抑制，伴随着结构弛豫的显著减慢，最终团簇呈现出结构停滞的特征。在较弱的各向异性下，实验测量的动力学量对初始条件非常敏感，这解释了这些可观测物理量的实验结果与初始条件平均模拟结果之间的差异。本研究为理解各向异性约束多体系统中异常输运和结构弛豫的潜在机制提供了洞见。
英文摘要
A finite dusty plasma cluster of charged microparticles confined in an anisotropic potential well is investigated experimentally and through Langevin dynamics simulations. As the confinement anisotropy is increased, the cluster undergoes a structural transition from near isotropic concentric shells to a linear chain configuration. The spatiotemporal modes of the cluster are analyzed by using Singular Value Decomposition. At weaker confinement anisotropies, two modes are dominant. Mode 1, corresponding to a breathing-type oscillation of the cluster, and mode 2, representing an azimuthal rotational motion of the cluster, together carry around 99$\%$ of the signal energy. With increasing anisotropy, the dominance of mode 2 decreases and that of mode 1 increases. This mode restructuring is accompanied by an increasingly non-Gaussian particle displacement statistics as evidenced by positive values of the Non-Gaussian Parameter maintained over an extended time duration. Simultaneously, the increasing dominance of mode 1 and suppression of mode 2 is accompanied by a significant slowing down of structural relaxation, with the cluster eventually exhibiting signatures of structural arrest. At weaker anisotropy, the experimentally measured dynamical quantities are very sensitive to the initial conditions which account for the discrepancy between the experiment and initial condition averaged simulation results for these observables. This study offers insight into the mechanisms underlying anomalous transport and structural relaxation in anisotropically confined many-body systems.
