Abstract
Random charge fluctuation effect is investigated for positively charged strongly coupled dust particles. The dust particles are moving in two dimensions and are confined by a parabolic potential. Using the Monte Carlo method, the effect of charge fluctuation is investigated for a finite number of particles interacting through a screened Yukawa potential. It is found that the charge fluctuation corresponds to an additional heating of the system giving rise to a change on the background configurations as well as on the melting characteristics.
