Abstract

Monte Carlo simulation is conducted for a strongly coupled one-dimensional confined-particles system. We deal with an infinite chain of positively charged dust particles. The particles interact through the Yukawa screened potential. It is found that a critical value exists for the number of closest neighbors that are involved in the interaction. The inter-particle distance at equilibrium is found. Using these results, we study the dust-acoustic as well as the dust-lattice modes for two situations. In the first we neglect the friction force while in the second situation the presence of an ambient gas in plasma is considered.
