Simulating the dynamics of complex plasmas

Mierk Schwabe, David B. Graves

Complex plasmas are low-temperature plasmas that contain micrometer-size particles in addition to the neutral gas particles and the ions and electrons that make up the plasma. The…

Measurement of the speed of sound by observation of the Mach cones in a complex plasma under microgravity conditions

D. I. Zhukhovitskii, V. E. Fortov, V. I. Molotkov +6

We report the first observation of the Mach cones excited by a larger microparticle (projectile) moving through a cloud of smaller microparticles (dust) in a complex plasma with ne…

Ion sphere model for Yukawa systems (dusty plasmas)

S. A. Khrapak, A. G. Khrapak, A. V. Ivlev +1

Application of the ion sphere model (ISM), well known in the context of the one-component-plasma, to estimate thermodynamic properties of model Yukawa systems is discussed. It is s…

Stopping power: Effect of the projectile deceleration

Roman Kompaneets, Alexei V. Ivlev, Gregor E. Morfill

The stopping force is the force exerted on a charged projectile by the excess charge of the wake generated by the projectile in the surrounding plasma. Since the wake does not inst…

Wake-induced bending of two-dimensional plasma crystals

T. B. Röcker, A. V. Ivlev, S. K. Zhdanov +2

It is shown that the wake-mediated interactions between microparticles in a two-dimensional plasma crystal affect the shape of the monolayer, making it non-flat. The equilibrium sh…

Nonlinear regime of the mode-coupling instability in 2D plasma crystals

T. B. Röcker, L. Couëdel, S. K. Zhdanov +4

The transition between linear and nonlinear regimes of the mode-coupling instability (MCI) operating in a monolayer plasma crystal is studied. The mode coupling is triggered at the…
