| Abstract | Abstract. The plasma crystal experiment PKE–Nefedov, the first basic science experiment on the International Space Station (ISS), was installed in February 2001 by the first permanent crew. It is designed for long-term investigations of complex plasmas under microgravity conditions. ‘Complex plasmas ’ contain ions, electrons, neutrals and small solid particles—normally in the micrometre range. These microparticles obtain thousands of elementary charges and interact with each other via a ‘screened ’ Coulomb potential. Complex plasmas are of special interest, because they can form liquid and crystalline states (Thomas |
