Abstract
The possibility of confining positively charged macroscopic dust particles in a unique photoemission trap was studied. The spatial distributions of the potentials for a cylindrical geometry of a phototrap were obtained (by the particles in a cell method) and the dynamics of the formation of ordered structures of dust particles in the potential field of the trap was studied (by the molecular-dynamics method). The dependence of the number of dust particles confined by a phototrap on the particle energies and sizes and the buffer-gas pressure were obtained.
