Sheared and unsheared rotation of driven dust clusters
- Institut für Experimentelle und Angewandte Physik, Christian-Albrechts-Universitaet Kiel, Leibnizstraße 19-Kiel, SH 24098 (Germany)
Finite size plasma crystals confined in an anisotropic potential well were studied under a rotating and radially unsheared drive in experiment and simulation at moderate rotational frequencies. A radially sheared rotation of these strongly coupled systems is observed for most cluster configurations with a low symmetry. The results show that a differential rotation can be effected by a non-sheared driving force.
