Title: Experiments on phase transitions of 3D dust clusters

Abstract

The melting transition for finite 3D Yukawa clusters is studied experimentally. Therefore a cluster with N = 25 particles is heated by a random laser beam. The order breaks down in two steps: At lower heating one finds angular melting. At higher heating also the radial order is destroyed.
