Experiments and modeling of dust particle heating resulting from changes in polarity switching in the PK-4 microgravity laboratory
Lori S. McCabe, Jeremiah Williams, Saikat Chakraborty Thakur +6
In the presence of gravity, the micron-sized charged dust particles in a complex (dusty) plasma are compressed into thin layers. However, under the microgravity conditions of the P…
Quantum dot on a plasma-facing microparticle surface: Thermal balance
Mikhail Pustylnik
Semiconductor nanocrystals, quantum dots, are known to exhibit the quantum-confined Stark effect which reveals itself in the shift of their photoluminescence spectra in response to…
Influence of Temporal Variations in Plasma Conditions on the Electric Potential Near Self-Organized Dust Chains
Katrina Vermillion, Dustin L. Sanford, Lorin S. Matthews +13
The self-organization of dust grains into stable filamentary dust structures (or "chains") largely depends on dynamic interactions between the individual charged dust grains and th…
Heat transport in a flowing complex plasma in microgravity conditions
V. Nosenko, S. Zhdanov, M. Pustylnik +3
Heat transport in a three-dimensional complex (dusty) plasma was experimentally studied in microgravity conditions using Plasmakristall-4 (PK-4) instrument on board the Internation…
On the optical measurement of microparticle charge using quantum dots
Mikhail Pustylnik, Zahra Marvi, Job Beckers
We investigated the possibility of using a layer of quantum dots (QDs) deposited on the microparticle surface for the measurement of the charge the microparticle acquires when imme…
Heartbeat instability as auto-oscillation between dim and bright void regimes
Aleksandr Pikalev, Mikhail Pustylnik, Christoph Räth +1
We investigated the self-excited as well as optogalvanically stimulated heartbeat instability in RF discharge complex plasma. Three video cameras measured the motion of the micropa…
Dim and bright void regimes in capacitively-coupled RF complex plasmas
A. Pikalev, I. Semenov, M. Pustylnik +2
We demonstrate experimentally that the void in capacitively-coupled RF complex plasmas can exist in two qualitative different regimes. The "bright" void is characterized by bright…
Shear flow in a three-dimensional complex plasma in microgravity conditions
V. Nosenko, M. Pustylnik, M. Rubin-Zuzic +8
Shear flow in a three-dimensional complex plasma was experimentally studied in microgravity conditions using Plasmakristall-4 (PK-4) instrument on board the International Space Sta…
Three-dimensional structure of a string-fluid complex plasma
M. Y. Pustylnik, B. Klumov, M. Rubin-Zuzic +12
Three-dimensional structure of complex (dusty) plasmas was investigated under long-term microgravity conditions in the International-Space-Station-based Plasmakristall-4 facility.…
Particle charge in PK-4 dc discharge from ground-based and microgravity experiments
T. Antonova, S. A. Khrapak, M. Y. Pustylnik +6
The charge of microparticles immersed in the dc discharge of the Plasmakristall-4 experimental facility has been estimated using the particle velocities from experiments performed…
Dust density waves in a dc flowing complex plasma with discharge polarity reversal
S. Jaiswal, M. Y. Pustylnik, S. Zhdanov +7
We report on the observation of the self-excited dust density waves in the dc discharge complex plasma. The experiments were performed under microgravity conditions in the Plasmakr…
Capacitively-coupled rf discharge with a large amount of microparticles: spatiotemporal emission pattern and microparticle arrangement
M. Y. Pustylnik, I. L. Semenov, E. Zähringer +1
The effect of micron-sized particles on a low-pressure capacitively-coupled rf discharge is studied both experimentally and using numerical simulations. In the laboratory experimen…
On the heterogeneous character of the heartbeat instability in complex (dusty) plasmas
Mikhail Pustylnik, Alexei Ivlev, Nader Sadeghi +4
A hypothesis on the physical mechanism generating the heartbeat instability in complex (dusty) plasmas is presented. It is suggested that the instability occurs due to the periodic…
