摘要

Discrete normal modes excited in a complex plasma chain with foreign particles are studied numerically in this work. The discrete spectrum, higher than the continuum spectrum of conventional lattice modes, for the dust chain with various foreign particles is obtained by a frequency resonance with the mode eigenfrequency excited by an external perturbation. The relation of the foreign particles and normal mode numbers and other features of the modes are also discussed. Published by AIP Publishing.
