Abstract

This study deals with the distribution of point charges on the surface of a uniformly charged dielectric plate; the expression for the criterion of formation of 2D Coulomb crystal is obtained. This criterion is independent of the charge surface density and is defined only by the temperature of dielectric surface. At room temperature, the aggregate of point charges on dielectric surface may be considered as 2D Coulomb crystal.
