Pete Ramon: Dusty plasma is plasma containing small particles in suspension. In industry, dust is a contaminant and this is a motivation for its removal from semiconductor processing lines, smokestacks, and diesel exhausts. In nature, the ionosphere contains dust from the ablation of meteors, planets have rings of dust that are charged by solar wind particles trapped in their magnetospheres, and objects without magnetospheres (the Moon and Eros, for example) have dusty surfaces that are charged by solar wind particles and by photoelectric emission. Our research on dusty plasmas has been motivated by these naturally occurring plasmas. There are five major areas to our research. -------- :P Dusty plasma is plasma containing small particles in suspension from semiconductor processing lines, smokestacks, and diesel exhaust ;) These are not naturally occurring Dusty Plasmas. dusty plasma containing small particles FROM diesel exhaust wink emoticon Then throw in Vicki Grassians atmospheric nanodust group, researching dispersions of engineered atmospheric metallic nanoparticles. 3. Smoky plasma is generated by evaporating and condensing metal vapor and adding these nanoparticles to plasma. These particles mimic the meteoritic particles in the ionosphere cips.colorado.edu/Group/DustyPlasma/ ________________________
