Dust charge fluctuations in a magnetized dusty plasma.
Charging currents of electrons and ions to a spherical dust grain in a uniform magnetized dusty plasma have been examined. It is found that the external magnetic field reduces the charging currents, thereby decreasing the dust charge fluctuation damping of a low-frequency electrostatic wave in a dusty plasma.
متن کاملDust particle charge in plasma with ion flow and electron depletion near plasma boundaries
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 calculated and the electron depletion towards the electrode, as well as the increasing flow speed of ions toward the electrode are considered in the calculation of the dust particl...
متن کاملDust Cluster Oscillation Spectrum in the Presence of Charge Fluctuations
The mode spectra of small N=3 clusters of dust particles with fluctuating charges are analysed. Building on previous results investigating the influence of charge variance and correlation, efforts were made to quantify these effects on mode spectra via affected mode properties. This allows a more quantitative assessment of results, which is useful particularly as the number of particles in a cl...
متن کاملBistable intrinsic charge fluctuations of a dust grain subject to secondary electron emission in a plasma.
A master equation was formulated to study intrinsic charge fluctuations of a grain in a plasma as ions and primary electrons are attached to the grain through collisional collection, and secondary electrons are emitted from the grain. Two different plasmas with Maxwellian and non-Maxwellian distributions were considered. The fluctuations could be bistable in either plasma when the secondary ele...
متن کاملCompressive and rarefactive dust-ion acoustic solitary waves in four components quantum plasma with dust-charge variation
Based on quantum hydrodynamics theory (QHD), the propagation of nonlinear quantum dust-ion acoustic (QDIA) solitary waves in a collision-less, unmagnetized four component quantum plasma consisting of electrons, positrons, ions and stationary negatively charged dust grains with dust charge variation is investigated using reductive perturbation method. The charging current to the dust grains ca...
