Mobility in a strongly coupled dusty plasma with gas.
The mobility of a charged projectile in a strongly coupled dusty plasma is simulated. A net force F, opposed by a combination of collisional scattering and gas friction, causes projectiles to drift at a mobility-limited velocity up. The mobility μp=up/F of the projectile's motion is obtained. Two regimes depending on F are identified. In the high-force regime, μp∝F0.23, and the scattering cross...
متن کاملIdeal gas behavior of a strongly coupled complex (dusty) plasma.
In a laboratory, a two-dimensional complex (dusty) plasma consists of a low-density ionized gas containing a confined suspension of Yukawa-coupled plastic microspheres. For an initial crystal-like form, we report ideal gas behavior in this strongly coupled system during shock-wave experiments. This evidence supports the use of the ideal gas law as the equation of state for soft crystals such as...
متن کاملSolid superheating observed in two-dimensional strongly coupled dusty plasma.
It is demonstrated experimentally that strongly coupled plasma exhibits solid superheating. A 2D suspension of microspheres in dusty plasma, initially self-organized in a solid lattice, was heated and then cooled rapidly by turning laser heating on and off. Particles were tracked using video microscopy, allowing atomistic-scale observation during melting and solidification. During rapid heating...
متن کاملPerpendicular diffusion of a dilute beam of charged dust particles in a strongly coupled dusty plasma
The diffusion of projectiles drifting through a target of strongly coupled dusty plasma is investigated in a simulation. A projectile’s drift is driven by a constant force F. We characterize the random walk of the projectiles in the direction perpendicular to their drift. The perpendicular diffusion coefficient Dp? is obtained from the simulation data. The force dependence of Dp? is found to be...
متن کاملExperimental investigation of particle heating in a strongly coupled dusty plasma
Highly charged dust particles in a plasma can be strongly coupled when their kinetic temperature is low. This temperature is determined by a balance of heating and gas cooling. The heating is believed to be electrostatic, although its exact nature is still under investigation. Experiments in a multiple-layer plasma crystal were conducted to test proposed heating mechanisms. A method for measuri...
