Alexei V Ivlev, Sergey A Khrapak Basics of Complex (Dusty) Plasmas |
This lecture course is an introduction to complex (dusty) plasmas. It presents the main physical processes necessary to understand and explain
various phenomena occurring in these systems. In particular, detailed description of particle charging, main mechanisms of particle-particle interaction, forces acting on dust particles, dynamics of particles, and wave propagation in complex plasmas is provided. |

The properties of dusty plasmas – low-temperature plasmas containing charged macroparticles – are considered. The most important elementary processes in dusty plasmas and the forces acting on dust particles are investigated. Waves and oscillations in dusty plasmas, as well as their damping and instability mechanisms, are studied. New directions of experimental research and potential applications of dusty plasmas are discussed. |

The major types of experimental complex plasmas are briefly discussed. Various elementary processes, including grain charging in different regimes, interaction between charged particles, and momentum exchange between different species are investigated. The major forces on microparticles and features of the particle dynamics in complex plasmas are highlighted. Properties of the magnetized complex plasmas and plasmas with nonspherical particles are briefly mentioned.© 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. |
