Nonlinear dust acoustic waves in a charge varying ion-ion-dust plasma
The effect of nonthermal negative ions on large amplitude dust acoustic waves is investigated in a charge varying ion-ion-dust plasma. The proper nonthermal negative ion charging current is derived ba...

Charge fluctuations and Hall effect in dusty plasmas
In a magnetized dusty plasma, Hall effect can arise due to collisional processes when, e.g., ion-dust collision decouples the ions from the magnetic field. In this case, due to the dust stoppage of th...

A single-layer suspension of microparticles was formed in a plasma under microgravity conditions. This single layer is confined at a void boundary by a balance of ion drag and electric forces, where the ion flow velocity is much slower than in the sheath of laboratory plasmas. Using a high-resolution camera that allows measurements of velocities at a low level, the microparticle kinetic temperature was found to be close to that of the neutral gas. The random motion transverse to the single layer was found to have oscillations of the form expected for harmonic oscillators driven by white noise. The driving of the oscillation is mostly attributed to the Brownian motion of neutral atoms, while the damping is mostly due to neutral gas friction. An observed resonance frequency of 25  s−1 allows us to quantify the electric and ion drag forces as being in the range of 0.2–0.4mpg, where mp is the microparticle mass and g is the acceleration of gravity on Earth's surface. No signature of wave dispersion was detected for this experiment with neon at a pressure of 0.12 Torr. ©2009 American Institute of Physics
