Dusty Plasma Liquids
The dusty plasma liquid formed by micro-meter sized particles negatively charged and suspended in a low pressure discharge background is a good candidate to study the generic spatio-temporal dynamical behaviors at the kinetic level through direct optical video-microscopy, because of the sub-mm interparticle spacing and the slow time scale. In this paper, starting from the basic picture of the a...
متن کاملPhase diagram of a dusty plasma
We show that dipole-dipole interactions induced by gravitational force and possibly ion-stream drag force give rise to stable triangular and oriented cubic crystalline structures recently observed in a dusty plasma, as opposed to only unoriented cubic close-packed structures usually expected of Wigner crystals. In certain cases the dipole interaction may flatten the crystal significantly. We ca...
متن کاملA dusty plasma device for producing extended, steady state, magnetized, dusty plasma columns
We describe a rotating-drum dust-dispersal device, which we have used, in conjunction with an existing Q machine, to produce extended, steady state, magnetized plasma columns. The dusty plasma device (DPD) is to be used for the investigation of waves in dusty plasmas and of other plasma/dust aspects. The device is capable of generating dusty plasmas in which as much as -90% of the negative char...
متن کاملMerging and splitting of plasma spheroids in a dusty plasma.
Dust particle growth in a plasma is a strongly disturbing phenomenon for the plasma equilibrium. It can induce many different types of low-frequency instabilities that can be experimentally observed, especially using high-speed imaging. A spectacular case has been observed in a krypton plasma where a huge density of dust particles is grown by material sputtering. The instability consists of wel...
متن کاملA model for the condensation of a dusty plasma
A model for the condensation of a dusty plasma is constructed by considering the spherical shielding layers surrounding a dust grain test particle. The collisionless region less than a collision mean free path from the test particle is shown to separate into three concentric layers, each having distinct physics. The method of matched asymptotic expansions is invoked at the interfaces between th...
