Static and dynamic shear viscosity of a single-layer complex plasma

Abstract: The static and dynamic (complex) shear viscosity of a single-layer dusty plasma is measured by applying, respectively, a stationary and a periodically modulated shear stress, induced by the light pressure of manipulating laser beams. Under static conditions we observe a decrease of the viscosity with increasing shear rate, the so-called shear-thinning behavior. Under oscillating shear both the magnitude and the ratio of the dissipative and elastic contributions to the complex viscosity show strong frequency de… Show more

“…This previous work includes experiments [16,17] and theoretical simulations [18][19][20]. Other transport coefficients that have been studied experimentally for 2D dusty plasmas include shear viscosity [10,21,22] and thermal conductivity [23][24][25][26]. Simulations have also been reported for shear viscosity [27,28], longitudinal viscosity [29], and thermal conductivity [15,30,31].…”

“…The substance of interest here, strongly coupled plasma, has several special characteristics that lead us to question whether the GK method might not be applicable. One such characteristic of strongly coupled plasmas is non-Newtonian behavior, for example shear thinning [44] and the memory effect of viscoelasticity [45], which have both been observed experimentally [46][47][48]. Non-Newtonian fluids, in general, can lack the proportionality between a current and force that is required for applicability of the GK method [49].…”

“…To the best of our knowledge, all previous dusty plasma experimenters who have reported values for the viscosity used a hydrodynamic method [47,[53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61], except for Feng et al [48,51] who used the GK method with an input of experimental data. While Feng et al [51] compared their experimental GK result to an earlier hydrodynamic result [54], that comparison did not test the applicability of the GK method as the conditions in the two experiments were different.…”

“…The lighter charged components of the dusty plasma (electrons and positive ions) are weakly coupled. Dusty plasmas have much in common with other strongly coupled plasmas, such as ultracold neutral plasmas 21 , and warm dense matter 22 as well.The collection of microspheres can undergo a liquid-like flow when external forces are applied by laser beams [23][24][25][26][27] . In this way, the microspheres can be driven into a shear flow-that is, a flow with a transverse gradient in the flow velocity.…”

“…In our experiment, video microscopy and tracking of the individual microspheres provided the necessary inputs to compute the shear stress 26 , P xy (t), and in turn, σ (t) in a shear flow. The resulting time series σ (t), for a subsystem of N = 56 microspheres, is the basis of all our remaining analysis; a portion of this time series is shown in Fig.…”
