Using Dust as Probes to Determine Sheath Extent and Structure
Angela Douglass, Victor Land, Ke Qiao +2
Two in-situ experimental methods are presented in which dust particles are used to determine the extent of the sheath and gain information about the time-averaged electric force pr…
Charging of Aggregate Grains in Astrophysical Environments
Qianyu Ma, Victor Land, Lorin Matthews +1
The charging of dust grains in astrophysical environments has been investigated with the assumption these grains are homogeneous spheres. However, there is evidence which suggests…
Determination of the levitation limits of dust particles within the sheath in complex plasma experiments
Angela Douglass, Victor Land, Ke Qiao +2
Experiments are performed in which dust particles are levitated at varying heights above the powered electrode in a RF plasma discharge by changing the discharge power. The traject…
The effect of dust charge variation, due to ion flow and electron depletion, on dust levitation
Victor Land, Angela Douglass, Ke Qiao +2
Using a fluid model, the plasma densities, electron temperature and ion Mach number in front of a powered electrode in different plasma discharges is computed. The dust charge is c…
Agglomeration of Dust Particles in the Lab
Lorin S. Matthews, Jorge Carmona-Reyes, Victor Land +1
Dust aggregates are formed in a laboratory plasma as monodisperse spheres are accelerated in a self-excited dust density wave. The asymmetric charge on the aggregates causes them t…
Modeling Agglomeration of Dust Particles in Plasma
Lorin S. Matthews, Victor Land, Qianyu Ma +2
The charge on an aggregate immersed in a plasma environment distributes itself over the aggregate's surface; this can be approximated theoretically by assuming a multipole distribu…
