Particle charge in the bulk of gas discharges

Abstract: An experimental determination of particle charge in a bulk dc discharge plasma covering a wide range of neutral gas pressures, was recently reported [S. Ratynskaia, Phys. Rev. Lett. 93, 085001 (2004)]. The charges obtained were several times smaller than the predictions of collisionless orbital motion limited theory. This discrepancy was attributed to the effect of ion-neutral collisions. In the present paper a more detailed description of this experiment is provided and additional experimental results obtaine… Show more

“…The electron and ion fluxes from the PIC simulation of the RF plasma and the resulting charge on the particle are shown in figure 8. The plasma parameters together with analytical models like OML or the Khrapak model are used to compute the dust charge in the RF discharge [27,31]. The predicted charge at the particle if placed inside the plasma bulk amounts to about −6.3 × 10 6 elementary charges, which is in reasonable agreement with the charge obtained from the analytical analysis (see above).…”

“…The observations of DAWs and measurements of dust-acoustic (sound) velocities have been used to obtain useful information about dusty plasmas systems under various conditions [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] (we mainly concentrate on three-dimensional particle clouds here, which is also reflected in the reference list). In particular, experimentally measured DAW dispersion relations and sound velocities have been repeatedly used to estimate the electrical charge of particles in dusty plasmas under laboratory and microgravity conditions [16][17][18][19][20], employing various experimental techniques. For other aspects of DAWs and their significance for the field of dusty (complex) plasmas see, for instance, Refs.…”
