Velocity-Dependent Friction and Diffusion for Grains in Neutral Gases, Dusty Plasmas and Active Systems
A self-consistent and universal description of friction and diffusion for Brownian particles (grains) in different systems, as a gas with Boltzmann collisions, dusty plasma with ion absorption by grains, and for active particles (e.g., cells in biological systems) is suggested on the basis of the appropriate Fokker-Planck equation. Restrictions for application of the Fokker-Planck equation to t...
متن کاملStationary velocity and charge distributions of grains in dusty plasmas
Within the kinetic approach the velocity and the charge distributions of grains in stationary dusty plasmas are calculated and the relations between the effective temperatures of such distributions and plasma parameters are established. It is found that the effective temperature which determines the velocity grain distribution could be anomalously large due to the action of accelerating ionic b...
متن کاملIdentifying anomalous diffusion and melting in dusty plasmas.
Anomalous diffusion in liquids and the solid-liquid phase transition (melting) are studied in two-dimensional Yukawa systems. The self-intermediate scattering function (self-ISF), calculated from simulation data, exhibits a temporal decay, or relaxation, with a characteristic relaxation time. This decay is found to be useful for distinguishing normal and anomalous diffusion in a liquid, and for...
متن کاملAmbipolar diffusion in laboratory and ionospheric dusty plasmas
A self-consistent model of the ambipolar diffusion of electrons and ions in dusty plasmas accounting for the local electric fields, the dust grain charging process, and the interaction of the plasma particles with the dust grains and neutrals is presented. The dependencies of the diffusion coefficient on the interaction of the electrons and ions with the dust grains as well as with the neutrals...
متن کاملDusty Plasmas' The Effect of Closely Packed Grains
A dusty plasma device recently described in the literature has been utilized to study experimentally the charging of dust grains by the surrounding plasma. By varying the ratio d/A D between the intergrain distance and the plasma Debye length, the effects predicted by Goertz and Ip (1984), and subsequently reanalyzed in a more general fashion by Whipple et al. (1985), when "isolated" dust grain...
