Non-linear charge reduction effect in strongly-coupled plasmas
نویسندگان
چکیده
The charge reduction effect, produced by the nonlinear Debye screening of high-Z charges occuring in strongly-coupled plasmas, is investigated. An analytic asymptotic expression is obtained for the charge reduction factor (fc) which determines the Debye-Hückel potential generated by a charged test particle. Its relevant parametric dependencies are analyzed and shown to predict a strong charge reduction effect in strongly-coupled plasmas. PACS numbers: 51.50+v, 52.20-j, 52.27.Gr

Complex non-equilibrium dynamics in plasmas
In this contribution we will discuss two new forms of strongly coupled plasmas which have become possible to create and observe in the laboratory only recently. They exhibit a wealth of intriguing complex behavior which can be studied, in many cases for the first time, experimentally. Plasmas, gases of charged particles, are universal in the sense that certain properties of complex behavior do ...
متن کاملMicroscopic dynamics in two-dimensional strongly-coupled dusty plasmas
A strongly-coupled plasma is a collection of free charged particles that interact with a Coulomb repulsion that is so strong that nearby particles do not easily move past one another. Unlike weakly-coupled plasmas, strongly-coupled plasmas exhibit a self-organization of particles into an arrangement like a solid crystalline lattice or a liquid. Dusty plasmas consist of micron-size particles of ...
متن کاملStudies of Strongly Coupled Plasmas at the Future FAIR Facility
Strongly coupled plasmas are ubiquitous in nature as they are found in stars, brown dwarfs and giant planets. A study of the physical properties of such plasmas in the laboratory is therefore of great importance to our understanding of the universe. Another very important problem associated with strongly coupled plasmas is the slowing down of charged particles in such systems. It has been theor...
متن کاملSolution and stability analysis of coupled nonlinear Schrodinger equations
We consider a new type of integrable coupled nonlinear Schrodinger (CNLS)equations proposed by our self [submitted to Phys. Plasmas (2011)]. The explicitform of soliton solutions are derived using the Hirota's bilinear method.We show that the parameters in the CNLS equations only determine the regionsfor the existence of bright and dark soliton solutions. Finally, throughthe linear stability an...
متن کاملPlasma-sheath effects on the Debye screening problem
Abstract The classical Debye-Hückel screening effect of the electrostatic field generated by isolated charged particles immersed in a plasma is reviewed. The validity of the underlying mathematical model, and particularly of the weak-field approximation, are analyzed. It is shown that the presence of the plasma sheath around test particles and the resulting effect of charge screening are essent...
