Abstract
In this letter, a phase transition of a non-equilibrated single component plasma evolving within a uniform constant magnetic field is demonstrated for the first time. We present classical fluid models that capture this phenomenon, confirm with N -particle simulations, derive constraints on parameters necessary to induce this phase transition, and suggest an experiment to test the novel predictions of the theory.
