Physical interpretation of the spectral approach to delocalization in infinite disordered systems
(Materials Research Express, 2016-12-05)
In this paper we introduce the spectral approach to delocalization in infinite disordered systems and provide a physical interpretation in context of the classical model of Edwards and Thouless. We argue that spectral ...
Fluid modeling of void closure in microgravity noble gas complex plasmas
(Physics Review E, 2010-05-12)
A self-consistent dusty plasma fluid model has been extended to incorporate all the noble gases as the carrier gas. An analysis of void closure in complex plasma composed of these gases over a wide range of experimental ...
Analysis of Magnetic Field Plasma Interactions Using Micro Particles as Probes
(American Physics Society/ Physical Review E, 2015-08-26)
The interaction between a magnetic field and plasma close to a nonconductive surface is of interest for both science and technology. In space, crustal magnetic fields on celestial bodies without atmosphere can interact ...
Multipole Expansions of Aggregate Charge: How Far to Go?
(IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science, 2016-04)
Aggregates immersed in a plasma or radiative environment will have charge distributed over their extended surface. Previous studies have modeled the aggregate charge using the monopole and dipole terms of a multipole ...
Dust particle charge in plasma with ion flow and electron depletion near plasma boundaries
(Physics of Plasmas, 2011-08-01)
The charge on micrometer-sized dust particles suspended in plasma above the powered electrode of radio-frequency discharges is studied. Using a self-consistent fluid model, the plasma profiles above the electrode are ...
A Simple Introduction to Particle Physics: Part II Geometric Foundations and Relativity
(2010-07-09)
This is the second in a series of papers intended to provide a basic overview of some of the major ideas in particle physics. Part I [40] was primarily an algebraic exposition of gauge theories. We developed the group ...
Simple method to measure the interaction potential of dielectric grains in a dusty plasma
(Physics Review E, 2010-09)
A simple minimally perturbative method is introduced which provides the ability to experimentally measure both the radial confining potential and the interaction potential between two individual dust particles, levitated ...
Probing the sheath electric field using thermophoresis in dusty plasma
(IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science, 2010-04)
A self-consistent dusty plasma fluid model has been extended to incorporate all the oble gases as the carrier gas. An analysis of void closure in complex plasma composed of these gases over a wide range of experimental ...
The effect of electrode heating on the discharge parameters in complex plasma experiments
(IOP Publishing, 2011-01-25)
Thermophoresis is a tool often applied in complex plasma experiments. One of the usual
stated benefits over other experimental tools is that electrode temperature changes required to
induce thermophoresis do not directly ...
Crystallization Dynamics of a Single Layer Complex Plasma
(Physical Review Letters, 2010-09)
We report a series of complex (dusty) plasma experiments, aimed at the study of the detailed time evolution of the recrystallization process following a rapid quench of a two-dimensional dust liquid. The experiments were ...
