Nonlinear mode coupling and internal resonance observed in a dusty plasma

Abstract

In this paper, we report the first experimental observation of internal resonance in a dusty plasma, which shows the intrinsic nonlinearities of dust interactions in plasmas. When driving a system of vertically aligned dust particle pairs in the vertical direction, the horizontal motion is found to be excited during onset of internal resonance when the higher-frequency horizontal sloshing mode is nonlinearly coupled to the vertical breathing mode through the 1:2 commensurable relation. A theoretical model of the nonlinear interaction of dust particles in plasma is also provided and the results of the theoretical model are shown to match experimental observations.

Localized solitary waves and their dynamical stabilities in magnetized dusty plasma

“…Thus, the study of dust plasma physics has became a new branch of physics at the end of last century [2,7]. There are many research subjects in the frontier of dust plasma [8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Among them, one of the popular subjects in dusty plasmas is studying the linear and nonlinear waves.…”

A machine learning based Bayesian optimization solution to nonlinear responses in dusty plasmas

“…Understanding the physics behind dust particle behavior (i.e., investigating these factors) is one of the most important tasks in dusty plasmas. One of the ways in which this can be fulfilled is by studying the response of the particles to external excitations [14,15]. This is known as the nonlinear frequency response analysis, which has a wide application in mechanics, material science and nano science [16][17][18].…”
