Abstract

A computer simulation of a quasi-one-dimensional Coulomb crystal in a parabolic confinement has been carried out using molecular dynamics. The melting transition has been investigated and critical temperatures have been determined from the behavior of the modified Lindemann parameter, translational correlation function, and structure factor. The values obtained for the critical temperature are in good agreement with the earlier experiment.
