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 …

Review of heavy-nucleus-acoustic nonlinear structures in cold degenerate plasmas
