Low‐pressure gas discharge plasmas are known to be strongly affected by the presence of
small dust particles. This issue plays a role in the investigations of dust particle‐forming …

In a dusty plasma, nanometer-sized solid dust particles can be grown by the polymerization
of plasma species from a reactive precursor gas. This type of plasma can be found in large …

One of the key parameters in low-pressure nanodusty plasmas is the dust particle size. In
this work, we introduce a new method for the determination of the dust particle size in a …

In a typical laboratory nanodusty plasma, nanometer-sized solid dust particles can be
generated from the polymerization of reactive plasma species. The interplay between the …

In this article, the stability of a complex plasma monolayer levitating in the sheath of the
powered electrode of an asymmetric capacitively coupled radio-frequency argon discharge …

The charge-to-mass ratio of microparticles confined in the sheath of an RF plasma is the key
parameter for the understanding and theoretical description of dusty plasmas. Standard …

Commonly used melamine formaldehyde micro-particles exposed to an rf discharge are
known to be etched by a plasma as soon as an admixture of oxygen is present. By means of …

Two-dimensional microparticle crystals can be formed in the sheath of a gas discharge
plasma. Ions from the bulk plasma are accelerated in the sheath electric field, flowing past …

We propose, test, and analyze a new step-wise excitation approach to quickly obtain, or
determine with high accuracy, the resonance frequency of a microparticle confined in the …

We have performed measurements of the ir absorption of SiO 2 nanoparticles confined in an
argon radiofrequency plasma discharge using a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. By …
