尘埃等离子体

 尘埃等离子体是一种复杂的物质形态,由普通的等离子体和悬浮在其中的固体颗粒组成。一般的等离子体由带负电的电子和带正电的离子组成,再加入固体颗粒就形成三组分的物质(图1)。等离子体中的作用主要是静电的相互作用,而悬浮在等离子体中的颗粒一般也是带电的,所以这些颗粒也参与了与其他两种粒子的相互作用,使这种物质形态内的过程更复杂。

Effect of dust size distribution and dust charge fluctuation on dust ion-acoustic shock waves in a multi-ion dusty plasma

The effects of dust size distribution and dust charge fluctuation of dust grains on the small but finite amplitude nonlinear dust ion-acoustic shock waves, in an unmagnetized multi-ion dusty plasma which contains negative ions, positive ions and electrons, are studied in this paper. A Burgers equation and its stationary solutions are obtained by using the reductive perturbation method. The analytical and numerical results show that the height with polynomial dust size distribution is larger than that of the monosized dusty plasmas with the same dust grains, but the thickness in the case of different dust grains is smaller than that of the monosized dusty plasmas. Furthermore, the moving speed of the shock waves also depend on different dust size distributions.     

Linear propagation of dust acoustic modes in the presence of an electron beam

The physical and optical properties of plasmas are depended on dynamics of species in the discharge volume. Then, the presence of an electron beam, as a separate component, in a dusty plasma can modify the plasma structures through altering the discharge parameters. In this report, the linear propagation of acoustic modes in a collisionless dusty plasma contains electrons, ions and charged dust grains is investigated in the presence of an electron beam. Our analysis indicates that the electron beam can modify the dispersion relations of dust acoustic modes which resulted different data transportation in dusty plasmas. The obtained results are also examined for negative and positive charged dust grains with different number densities. The charge of dust grains represents an important role in the dynamics of the low frequency waves. Additionally, our findings reveal that the propagation of acoustic waves in dusty plasmas can be controlled by adjusting the electron number density of the beam and the cathode potential. Lastly, we obtian the destabilizing effects, originated from dust charge fluctuation, by reconsidering the dispersion relations of both dust acoustic modes.     

Formation of liquidlike and crystalline structures in dusty plasmas

Under certain conditions in a dusty plasma, which is a low-temperature plasma with dust grains, the strong interaction between grains can give rise to gas-liquid-solid-state phase transitions. A study is made of ordered (liquidlike and crystalline) grain structures in various kinds of dusty plasmas: a thermal plasma at atmospheric pressure, a plasma of a dc glow discharge, and a UV radiation-driven plasma. The results of experimental observations of ordered dust structures are reported, and the characteristic features of the dust structures and the conditions for their appearance are discussed.     

Effect of nonthermal ion distribution and dust temperature on nonlinear dust-acoustic solitary waves

Dust-acoustic solitary waves in unmagnetized dusty plasma whose constituents are inertial charged dust grains, Boltzmannian electrons and nonthermal ions have been investigated by taking into account finite dust temperature. The pseudopotential has been used to study solitary solution. The existence of solitary waves having negative potential is reported.     

The dust acoustic wave in a bounded dusty plasma with strong electrostatic interactions between dust grains

The dispersion relation for the dust acoustic wave (DAW) in an unmagnetized dusty plasma cylindrical waveguide is derived, accounting for strong electrostatic interactions between charged dust grains. It is found that the boundary effect limits the radial extent of the DAW. The present result should be helpful for understanding the frequency spectrum of the DAW in a dusty plasma waveguide with strongly coupled charged dust grains.     

Electrostatic dust-acoustic envelope solitons in an electron-depleted plasma

A standard nonlinear Schrödinger equation has been established by using the reductive perturbation method to investigate the propagation of electrostatic dust-acoustic waves, and their modulational instability as well as the formation of localized electrostatic envelope solitons in an electron-depleted unmagnetized dusty plasma system comprising opposite polarity dust grains and super-thermal positive ions. The relevant physical plasma parameters (viz., charge, mass, number density of positive and negative dust grains, and super-thermality of the positive ions, etc.) have rigorous impact to recognize the stability conditions of dust-acoustic waves. The present study is useful for understanding the mechanism of the formation of dust-acoustic envelope solitons associated with dust-acoustic waves in the laboratory and space environments.     

K-P-Burgers equation in negative ion-rich relativistic dusty plasma including the effect of kinematic viscosity

The stationary solution is obtained for the K–P–Burgers equation that describes the nonlinear propagations of dust ion acoustic waves in a multi-component, collisionless, un-magnetized relativistic dusty plasma consisting of electrons, positive and negative ions in the presence of charged massive dust grains. Here, the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili(K–P) equation, threedimensional(3D) Burgers equation, and K–P–Burgers equations are derived by using the reductive perturbation method including the effects of viscosity of plasma fluid, thermal energy, ion density, and ion temperature on the structure of a dust ion acoustic shock wave(DIASW). The K–P equation predictes the existences of stationary small amplitude solitary wave,whereas the K–P–Burgers equation in the weakly relativistic regime describes the evolution of shock-like structures in such a multi-ion dusty plasma.     

Waves propagating along a density gradient in a dusty plasma

The waves propagating in the direction of a density gradient in a dusty plasma are analyzed. The analysis includes the recently predicted electrostatic dust Rossby mode that can develop in a rotating dusty plasma with charged grains, as well as waves in magnetized plasmas, and dust acoustic waves. The spatial behavior of the mode amplitude is determined for a few realistic plasma density profiles.     

Theory of mach cones in magnetized dusty plasmas with strongly correlated charged dust grains

A theory for the formation of Mach cones in a magnetized dusty plasma with strongly correlated charged dust grains has been presented. We use the electron and ion susceptibilities for weakly correlated magnetized electrons and ions as well as the strongly correlated unmagnetized dust grain susceptibilities which are obtained by means of the quasilocalized charge approximation and a generalized hydrodynamic model. The plasma dielectric response of the present system reveals the parametric regimes for which Mach cones in a strongly coupled laboratory dusty magnetoplasma can be formed. We suggest conducting experiments in radiofrequency dusty plasma discharges with superconducting magnets for verifying the theoretical prediction of Mach cones that is made herein.     

Coexistence of positive and negative solitary potential structures in dusty plasma

A dusty plasma system consisting of electrons, ions, and negative as well as positive dust particles has been considered. The basic properties of arbitrary amplitude solitary potential structures that may exist in such a multi-component dusty plasma have been theoretically investigated by the pseudo-potential approach. It has been found that the presence of additional positive dust component does not only significantly modify the basic properties of solitary potential structures, but also causes the coexistence of positive and negative solitary potential structures, which is a completely new feature shown in a dusty plasma with dust of opposite polarity.
