Depending on the number of particles in the system phase transitions, collective vortex motions and large-scaled expansions can be observed. To investigate these fascinating effects an advanced experimental setup as well as new evaluation methods have been developed. This thesis will present these new techniques and the gained insights.}, language = {en} }
