Abstract
A binary mixture of dust particles in plasma occurring in an external electrostatic spherical confinement field has been numerically simulated. Calculations have been performed within the framework of the molecular dynamics method, with the interparticle forces described in terms of an isotropic Yukawa pair potential. It is shown that the particles form a shell structure, each particular shell consisting of particles of the same kind. The structural properties of such a binary mixture of particles and the specific features of their segregation under the conditions of recent experiments on the formation of Coulomb balls have been studied.
