    "abstract": "The formation of plasma crystals confined in an external one-dimensional\nparabolic potential well is simulated for a normal experimental environment\nemploying a computer code called BOXITREE. Under appropriate conditions,\ncrystals were found to form layered systems. The system\u0027s structural phase\ntransitions, including transitions between crystals with differing numbers of\nlayers and the same number of layers but different intralayer structures, were\ninvestigated and found to agree with previous theoretical and experimental\nresearch results. One- to two-layer transitions were examined in detail and\nshown to start at the point where the out-of-plane lattice instability appears.\nThe resulting three layer system caused by this instability was observed at the\ncenter of the system. Finally, growth rates for this out-of-plane lattice\ninstability were obtained using the BOXITREE simulation with these results\nshown to agree with those obtained from analytical theory.",
