Abstract
The structure and dynamics of dust particles in a 3-D dusty plasma is characterized using a Langevin molecular dynamics simulation with a Yukawa potential. Conditions are set appropriate for a liquid-like strongly coupled plasma. The positions of dust particles are shown in an image. The thermal motion of particles is decomposed into the longitudinal wave spectrum, showing a distinctive dispersion relation.
