Theory of a cavity around a large floating sphere in complex (dusty) plasma
S. Khrapak, P. Huber, H. Thomas +2
In the last experiment with the PK-3 Plus laboratory onboard the International Space Station, interactions of millimeter-size metallic spheres with a complex plasma were studied~[M…
New approach to measurement of the three dimensional crystallization front propagation velocity in strongly coupled complex plasma
D. I. Zhukhovitskii, V. N. Naumkin, V. I. Molotkov +2
The PK-3 Plus laboratory onboard the International Space Station is used to form complex plasma with a liquidlike particle subsystem in metastable state and to observe the propagat…
Dust coupling parameter of radio-frequency-discharge complex plasma under microgravity conditions
D. I. Zhukhovitskii, V. N. Naumkin, A. I. Khusnulgatin +2
Oscillation of particles in a dust crystal formed in a low-pressure radio-frequency gas discharge under microgravity conditions is studied. Analysis of experimental data obtained i…
Density distribution of a dust cloud in three-dimensional complex plasmas
V. N. Naumkin, D. I. Zhukhovitskii, V. I. Molotkov +5
We propose a novel method of determination of the dust particle spatial distribution in dust clouds that form in three-dimensional (3D) complex plasmas under microgravity condition…
Measurement of the speed of sound by observation of the Mach cones in a complex plasma under microgravity conditions
D. I. Zhukhovitskii, V. E. Fortov, V. I. Molotkov +6
We report the first observation of the Mach cones excited by a larger microparticle (projectile) moving through a cloud of smaller microparticles (dust) in a complex plasma with ne…
Nonviscous motion of a slow particle in the dust crystal under microgravity conditions
D. I. Zhukhovitskii, V. E. Fortov, V. I. Molotkov +6
Subsonic motion of a large particle moving through the bulk of a dust crystal formed by negatively charged small particles is investigated using the PK-3 Plus laboratory onboard th…
Freezing and melting of 3D complex plasma structures under microgravity conditions driven by neutral gas pressure manipulation
S. A. Khrapak, B. A. Klumov, P. Huber +10
Freezing and melting of large three-dimensional complex plasmas under microgravity conditions is investigated. The neutral gas pressure is used as a control parameter to trigger th…
