Dusty plasmas: From Saturn's rings to semiconductor processing devices

R Merlino - Advances in Physics: X, 2021 - Taylor & Francis
Dusty plasmas are plasmas containing solid particles in the size range of about 10 nm—10
μm. The particles acquire an electrical charge by collecting electrons and ions from the …

Simulations of ion–dust streaming instability in a highly collisional plasma

K Quest, M Rosenberg, A Levine - Journal of Plasma Physics, 2020 - cambridge.org
The excitation of low frequency dust acoustic (or dust density) waves in a dusty plasma can
be driven by the flow of ions relative to dust. We consider the nonlinear development of the …
