Gravity compensation in complex plasmas by application of a temperature gradient
arXiv:physics/0110045 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.89.175001
Abstract
Micron sized particles are suspended or even lifted up in a gas by thermophoresis. This allows the study of many processes occurring in strongly coupled complex plasmas at the kinetic level in a relatively stress-free environment. First results are presented. The technique is also of interest for technological applications.
