How to make large, void-free dust clusters in dusty
(IOP publishing, 2008-12-18)
Collections of micrometer-sized solid particles immersed in plasma
are used to mimic many systems from solid state and fluid physics, due to their
strong electrostatic interaction, their large inertia, and the fact that ...
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 ...
Delocalization in infinite disordered two-dimensional lattices of different geometry
(Physical Review B, 2017-12-06)
The spectral approach to infinite disordered crystals is applied to anAnderson-type Hamiltonian to demonstrate the existence of extended states for nonzero disorder in 2D lattices of different geometries. The numerical ...
Modelling of Voids in Complex Radio Frequency Plasmas
(WILEY-VCH, 2009-06-02)
In this paper hydrodynamic and kinetic approaches to model low pressure capacitively coupled complex radiofrequency
discharges are discussed and applied to discharges under microgravity. Experiments in the PKENefedov
reactor ...
Photophoretic Force on Aggregate Grains, Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
(Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2016-01-21)
The photophoretic force may impact planetary formation by selectively moving solid particles based on their composition and structure. This generates collision velocities between grains of different sizes and sorts the ...
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 ...
Charging and Growth of Fractal Dust Grains
(IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science, 2008-02)
The structure and evolution of aggregate grains formed within a plasma environment are dependent on the charge acquired by the micron-sized dust grains during the coagulation process. The manner in which the charge is ...
Charged Grains In Saturn's F-Ring: Interaction With Saturn's Magnetic Field
(Advances in Space Research, 2004)
Saturn’s dynamic F-Ring still presents a challenge for understanding and explaining the kinematic processes that lead to the changing structure visible in our observations of this ring. This study examines the effect of ...
Digital Imaging and Analysis of Dusty Plasmas
(Advances in Space Research, 2004)
Dust particles immersed within a plasma environment, such as those found in planetary rings or cometary environments, will acquire an electric charge. If the ratio of interparticle potential energy to average kinetic energy ...
Dynamics of a Dust Crystal with Two Different Size Dust Species
(Advances in Space Research, 2006)
A self-consistent 3D model for a complex (dusty) plasma is used to study the effects of multiple-sized dust grains in a dust crystal. In addition to the interparticle forces, which interact through a Yukawa potential, the ...
