Show affiliationsPools of ions trapped below the surface of superfluid helium form an ideal arena for the study of the fascinating properties of two-dimensional classical Coulomb solids and liquids. This system can support many different families of collective motion, and furthermore exhibits interesting mode-coupling effects; both of these features are employed to probe its behaviour. A description is given of some of the work that has been of interest over the past few years, focusing in particular on our understanding of the crystalline phase.
