Laboratory observations of self-excited dust acoustic shocks

J Heinrich, SH Kim, RL Merlino - Physical review letters, 2009 - APS
Repeated, self-excited dust acoustic shock waves (DASWs) have been observed in a dc
glow discharge dusty plasma using high-speed video imaging. Two major observations are …

Perspective: dusty plasma experiments—a learning tool for physics graduate students

M Choudhary - European Journal of Physics, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
Plasma is an ionized gas that responses collectively to any external (or internal)
perturbation. Introducing micron-sized solid dust particles into plasma makes it more …

Dust clouds in Dc‐generated dusty plasmas: Transport, waves, and three‐dimensional effects

E Thomas Jr - Contributions to Plasma Physics, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
The study of dusty plasmas in dc‐generated plasmas is a broad topic because of the wide
variety of experimental configurations that fall under the category of “dc plasma source” …

Nonlinear periodic backward dust acoustic waves

AE Dubinov, IN Kitayev - Planetary and Space Science, 2021 - Elsevier
The backward periodic dust-acoustic waves (DAWs) in a dusty plasma in which dust
particles move unidirectionally are considered. In the framework of the linear theory, the …

Rotating electric fields in complex (dusty) plasmas

V Nosenko, AV Ivlev, SK Zhdanov, M Fink… - Physics of Plasmas, 2009 - pubs.aip.org
The rotation of monolayer particle clusters suspended in the sheath of a rf discharge plasma
was observed experimentally. The cluster rotation was driven by an electric field that rotated …

Synchronization mechanism and Arnold tongues for dust density waves

WDS Ruhunusiri, J Goree - Physical Review E—Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft …, 2012 - APS
The nonlinear phenomenon of synchronization is characterized experimentally for dust
density waves, ie, dust acoustic waves, which are self-excited due to an ion streaming …

Observation of metallic sphere–complex plasma interactions in microgravity

M Schwabe, S Zhdanov, T Hagl, P Huber… - New Journal of …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
The PK-3 Plus laboratory on board the International Space Station is used to study the
interaction between metallic spheres and a complex plasma. We show that the metallic …

Dispersion relations for the dust-acoustic wave under experimental conditions

WD Suranga Ruhunusiri, J Goree - Physics of Plasmas, 2014 - pubs.aip.org
The dust acoustic wave dispersion relation is tested to quantify its sensitivity to many
physical processes that are important in laboratory dusty plasmas. It is found that inverse …

Experimental quiescent drifting dusty plasmas and temporal dust acoustic wave growth

JR Heinrich, SH Kim, JK Meyer, RL Merlino - Physics of Plasmas, 2011 - pubs.aip.org
We report on dust acoustic wave growth rate measurements taken in a dc (anode glow)
discharge plasma device. By introducing a mesh with a variable bias 12–17 cm from the …

Propagation characteristics of dust–acoustic waves in presence of a floating cylindrical object in the dc discharge plasma

M Choudhary, S Mukherjee, P Bandyopadhyay - Physics of Plasmas, 2016 - pubs.aip.org
The experimental observation of the self–excited dust acoustic waves (DAWs) and its
propagation characteristics in the absence and presence of a floating cylindrical object is …
