Bistable intrinsic charge fluctuations of a dust grain subject to secondary electron emission in a plasma.
A master equation was formulated to study intrinsic charge fluctuations of a grain in a plasma as ions and primary electrons are attached to the grain through collisional collection, and secondary electrons are emitted from the grain. Two different plasmas with Maxwellian and non-Maxwellian distributions were considered. The fluctuations could be bistable in either plasma when the secondary ele...
متن کاملDust Grain Charging In Tokamak Plasmas
The presence of solid, micro-impurtities in tokamak plasmas has become a topic of great importance. Dust, originating from the reactor wall surfaces as a result plasma surface interactions, has the potential to cause serious safety hazards and confinement issues and therefore the transport of these particle contaminants in the plasma of an operational tokamak is therefore, a matter of great imp...
متن کاملA Van der Pol–Mathieu equation for the dynamics of dust grain charge in dusty plasmas
The chaotic profile of dust grain dynamics associated with dust-acoustic oscillations in a dusty plasma is considered. The collective behaviour of the dust plasma component is described via a multi-fluid model, comprising Boltzmann distributed electrons and ions, as well as an equation of continuity possessing a source term for the dust grains, the dust momentum and Poisson’s equations. A Van d...
متن کاملEffects of Grain Size on the Bremsstrahlung Spectrum of Electron-Dust Grain Collisions in Dusty Plasmas
The grain size effects on the bremsstrahlung emission spectrum due to nonrelativisitc electrondust grain collisions are investigated in dusty plasmas. Using the Born approximation for the initial and final states of the projectile electron, the bremsstranhlung radiation cross section is obtained as a function of the grain size, dust charge, Debye radius, collision energy, and radiation photon e...
متن کاملDust Cluster Oscillation Spectrum in the Presence of Charge Fluctuations
The mode spectra of small N=3 clusters of dust particles with fluctuating charges are analysed. Building on previous results investigating the influence of charge variance and correlation, efforts were made to quantify these effects on mode spectra via affected mode properties. This allows a more quantitative assessment of results, which is useful particularly as the number of particles in a cl...
