Preservation of a Dust Crystal as it Falls in an Afterglow Plasma

Frontiers in Physics, 2022
In an experiment, the power that sustains a plasma was extinguished, so that microspheres, which had been levitated, fell downward toward a lower electrode. At the beginning of their fall, the microspheres were self-organized with a crystalline structure.
