Dusty Plasmas' The Effect of Closely Packed Grains
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 grains become "closely packed" grains have been demonstrated experimentally.

Charge Fluctuation of Dust Grains and Its Impact on Dusty Wave.propagation
Introduction Plasmas with dust grains are of interest both for the cosmic space as well as for the laboratory plasmas. Examples include cometary environments, planetary rings, the interstellar medium, the Earth’s and other planets magnetospheres [1]. Dust has been found to be a determinant component of rarefied plasmas used in the microelectronic processing industry [2], and it may also be pres...
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 کاملDNLS Solitons in Collisional Dusty Plasma
Alfven waves are possible sources of turbulence in the interstellar medium. These waves are responsible for the transport of angular momentum and energy in the accretion discs. Such waves have been studied for last several decades in space plasmas. Most of the space plasmas are dusty. They contain charged grains and coupling of the grains to the magnetic field determines the wave propagation in...
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 کاملModulational instability of dust ion acoustic waves in astrophysical dusty plasmas with non thermal electrons
Propagation of dust ion acoustic waves in plasmas composed of nonthermal distributed electrons and stationary dust particles is investigated. Nonlinear Schrdinger equation is derived to describe small amplitude waves, using the reduction perturbation technique. Modulation instability of dust ion acoustic waves is analysed for this system. Parametric investigation indicates that growth rate of...
