Abstract: A change in the local order of a bounded complex (dusty) plasma in the process of its crystallization and melting has been examined by molecular dynamics simulations. The dynamics of microparticles is considered in the framework of a Langevin thermostat, the pair interaction between charged particles is described by a screened Coulomb potential (Yukawa potential) with the hard wall potential as a confinement. It has been shown that the beginning of the crystallization of such a system is accompanied by the formation of clusters with the hexagonal close packed (hcp) structure; a noticeable number of these clusters are then transformed to the face centered cubic (fcc) phase. A plasma crystal formed after crystallization consists of the metastable hcp phase, fcc clusters, and a small number of clusters with a body centered cubic (bcc) crystal lattice. Beginning with a certain threshold value of the thermostat temperature, the number of fcc/bcc clusters decreases sharply with increasing temperature, which is an important signature of the beginning of the melting of the plasma crystal.
