Single dust-particle rotation in glow-discharge plasma

Abstract: Rotation of a single dust granule (spin) is investigated experimentally in a stratified glow discharge. We employ the technique of measurement of the angular velocity, which is based on coordinate tracing of the light scattered by a hollow transparent particle. The angular velocity measured in the experiment is about 1-2 orders of magnitude higher than observed in previous experiments. We found that the angular velocity depends linearly on the discharge current. The mechanism of rotation of the granule is also… Show more

“…One of the directions for the subject study is investigation of the influence of the magnetic field on the plasma-dust structures formed in the striation of DC discharge. Also, the inverse rotation of plasma-dust structures in a magnetic field was found [1][2][3][4][5].…”

“…Probably, the influence of magnetic field is especially effective in the conditions of a glow discharge due to very intensive fluxes of plasma. Magnetic field causes the competition between several elementary mechanical processes resulting in the complex dynamics of rotation motion of dust structures in the glow discharge strata …”

“…One more motivation for studying of dusty plasma under the influence of magnetic field is the research of its magnetic properties. The dust particle that is quickly rotating around the center of inertia generates the magnetic moment up to 10 4 to 10 5 Bohr magnetons. It interacts with external magnetic field, and this is why the particle's axis of rotation varies; and finally varying the interaction of the particle surface with plasma fluxes.…”

“…One of the productive methods of studying a complex plasma consists in imposing an external influence and an observation of the response of the system. Imposing a magnetic field on low-temperature plasma with the dusty component has revealed new mechanical and thermodynamic properties, namely, change of the order of the system and kinetic temperature of the particles, of viscosity [5][6][7][8], as well as the magnetic properties because the dusty component possesses paramagnetism [9][10][11]. Probably the most interesting feature of dusty plasma in magnetic field is the complex dynamics of the rotational motion which shows an inversion of the direction angular velocity of the rotation of dust structure.…”
