Multi-species charged-particles interacting with each other by a competing short-range attraction and long-rangerepulsion potential confined in a quadratic trap are studied with molecular dynamics simulations.It is foundthat particles with similar mass-to-charge ratio tend to populate a common shell,whose location depends on theparticle mass-to-charge ratio,and that the greater the latter is,the closer the particles to the centre of the trapare.This rule for the ground.state configuration is independent of the total particle and species numbers in thesystem.
