Lifting of Tribocharged Grains by Martian Winds

Maximilian Kruss, Tim Salzmann, Eric Parteli +4

It is a long-standing open question whether electrification of wind-blown sand due to tribocharging - the generation of electric charges on the surface of sand grains by particle-p…

Violation of triboelectric charge conservation on colliding particles

Felix Jungmann, Hannah van Unen, Jens Teiser +1

In microgravity experiments, we quantified the net charge on systems of two identical, 434 \textmu m diameter glass spheres before and after a collision. We find that charge conser…

Aggregation of Sub-mm Particles in Strong Electric Fields under Microgravity Conditions

Felix Jungmann, Maximilian Kruss, Jens Teiser +1

Dust emission mechanisms as one aspect of wind-driven particle motion on planetary surfaces are still poorly understood. The microphysics is important though as it determines dust…

Observation of bottom-up formation for charged grain aggregates related to pre-planetary evolution beyond the bouncing barrier

Felix Jungmann, Gerhard Wurm

Context. Particles in protoplanetary disks go through a number of phases that are dominated by collisions. In each of these events, grains exchange electrical charge via triboelect…

Experimental study of clusters in dense granular gas and implications for the particle stopping time in protoplanetary disks

Niclas Schneider, Grzegorz Musiolik, Jonathan E. Kollmer +6

In protoplanetary disks, zones of dense particle configuration promote planet formation. Solid particles in dense clouds alter their motion through collective effects and back reac…

A Smoking Gun for Planetesimal Formation: Charge Driven Growth into a New Size Range

Jens Teiser, Maximilian Kruss, Felix Jungmann +1

Collisions electrically charge grains which promotes growth by coagulation. We present aggregation experiments with three large ensembles of basalt beads ($150\,μ\mathrm{m} - 180\,…
