Wigner Crystallization

Wigner Crystallization is a quantum many-body phase transition phenomenon in which a system of interacting electrons in a low-dimensional or strongly correlated environment forms a spatially ordered lattice structure due to dominant Coulomb repulsion at low densities, thereby minimizing electrostatic energy in the absence of kinetic energy dominance.
