  • Abstract
    Summary form only given. A Coulomb cluster has been observed to levitate in the low temperature plasma device by the balance of the sheath electric and the gravitational forces acting on the cluster. Motivated by the observation of rotation of the cluster in the presence of magnetic field, we have studied the dynamics of the Coulomb cluster by a particle simulation as well by an analytical model. Our preliminary result was presented earlier. We study the effect of the magnetic field on the dynamics of the Coulomb cluster in detail. We consider a Hamiltonian.
