Abstract: It is interesting to study the behaviour of plasma crystal formation in presence of magnetic field. For this purpose, a Molecular Dynamics (MD) code is developed. Radial Distribution Function is plotted for dusty plasma system for different values of magnetic field. The basic assumption is that the interaction potential gets modified in presence of magnetic field.
