Numerical Study of Heat Capacity in Dissipative Two‐Dimensional Yukawa Systems

The problems associated with the physical properties of non‐ideal dissipative systems are of significant interest in various fields of science and technology (plasma physics, medical industry, physics of polymers, etc.). The best‐known model for description of pair interaction of repelling particles in physical kinetics is based on the screened potential of Yukawa type. In this paper we present the results of the study of the heat capacity in non‐ideal dissipative two‐dimensional Yukawa systems. The parameters responsible for the heat capacity are determined and investigated. Comparison of obtained coefficients of heat capacity with the existing theoretical model was performed (© 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
