Low-frequency electrostatic modes in partially ionized complex plasmas: a kinetic approach
A kinetic model of partially ionized complex plasmas is employed for the numerical analysis of low-frequency longitudinal modes for typical laboratory plasmas. The approach self-consistently includes the effects of plasma particle absorption on dust, collisions with neutrals and electron impact ionization. In addition to the typical dust acoustic mode, the results reveal the existence of a nove...
متن کاملFluid description of collisional current filamentation instability of a weakly ionized plasma in the presence of magnetic field
In this paper, the collisional filamentation instability of an electron beam-weakly magnetized and ionized plasma has been investigated in the presence of background plasma, using the fluid description. By describing the equilibrium configuration in the presence of binary collision terms between charged and neutral particles and using the local approximation method, the dispersion relation (DR)...
متن کاملInstability of ion kinetic waves in a weakly ionized plasma.
The fundamental higher-order Landau plasma modes are known to be generally heavily damped. We show that these modes for the ion component in a weakly ionized plasma can be substantially modified by ion-neutral collisions and a dc electric field driving ion flow so that some of them can become unstable. This instability is expected to naturally occur in presheaths of gas discharges at sufficient...
متن کاملPartially ionized hydrogen plasma in strong magnetic fields.
We study the thermodynamic properties of a partially ionized hydrogen plasma in strong magnetic fields, B approximately 10(12)-10(13) G, typical of neutron stars. The properties of the plasma depend significantly on the quantum-mechanical sizes and binding energies of the atoms, which are strongly modified by thermal motion across the field. We use new fitting formulas for the atomic binding en...
متن کاملEnergy Cascades in a Partially Ionized Astrophysical Plasma
A local turbulence model is developed to study energy cascades in the interstellar medium (ISM) based on self-consistent two-dimensional fluid simulations. The model describes a partially ionized magnetofluid interstellar medium (ISM) that couples a neutral hydrogen fluid with a plasma primarily through charge exchange interactions. Charge exchange interactions are ubiquitous in warm ISM plasma...
