Effects of collision enhanced charging on dust crystal
Althea Wilson, Babak Shotorban
Numerical simulations of monolayer dust crystals in an RF complex plasma were performed to examine the crystal structure and quantify the effects of including the collision enhance…
First passage time in multi-step stochastic processes with applications to dust charging
Babak Shotorban
An approach was developed to describe the first passage time (FPT) in multistep stochastic processes with discrete states governed by a master equation (ME). The approach is an ext…
Investigation of surface boundary conditions for continuum modeling of RF plasmas
Althea Wilson, Babak Shotorban
This work was motivated by a lacking general consensus in the exact form of the boundary conditions (BCs) required on the solid surfaces for the continuum modeling of RF plasmas. V…
Discrete stochastic charging of aggregate grains
Lorin S. Matthews, Babak Shotorban, Truell W. Hyde
Dust particles immersed in a plasma environment become charged through the collection of electrons and ions at random times, causing the dust charge to fluctuate about an equilibri…
Bistable Intrinsic Charge Fluctuations of a Dust Grain Subject to Secondary Electron Emission in a Plasma
Babak Shotorban
A master equation was formulated to study intrinsic charge fluctuations of a grain in a plasma as ions and primary electrons are attached to the grain through collisional collectio…
Intrinsic Fluctuations of Dust Grain Charge in Multi-component Plasmas
Babak Shotorban
A master equation is formulated to model the states of the grain charge in a general multi-component plasma, where there are electrons and various kinds of positive or negative ion…
Cosmic Dust Aggregation with Stochastic Charging
Lorin S. Matthews, Babak Shotorban, Truell W. Hyde
The coagulation of cosmic dust grains is a fundamental process which takes place in astrophysical environments, such as presolar nebulae and circumstellar and protoplanetary disks.…
