We employ the approximation of overlapped scattering potentials of charged dust particles exposed to streaming ions to deduce the equation of state for a stationary dust cloud in the radio frequency discharge apart from the void dust boundary. The obtained equation defines the potential of a dust particle as a function of the ion number density, the mass of a carrier gas atom, and the electron temperature. A scaling law that relates the particle number density to the particle radius and electron temperature in different systems is formulated. Based on the proposed approach the radius of a cavity around a large particle in the bulk of a cloud is estimated. The results of calculation are in a reasonable agreement with the experimental data available in literature.
Oscillation of particles in a dust crystal formed in a low-pressure radio-frequency gas discharge under microgravity conditions is studied. Analysis of experimental data obtained in our previous study shows that the oscillations are highly isotropic
Subsonic motion of a large particle moving through the bulk of a dust crystal formed by negatively charged small particles is investigated using the PK-3 Plus laboratory onboard the International Space Station. Tracing the particle trajectories show
Heat transport in a three-dimensional complex (dusty) plasma was experimentally studied in microgravity conditions using Plasmakristall-4 (PK-4) instrument on board the International Space Station (ISS). An extended suspension of microparticles was l
We report the first observation of the Mach cones excited by a larger microparticle (projectile) moving through a cloud of smaller microparticles (dust) in a complex plasma with neon as a buffer gas under microgravity conditions. A collective motion
The charge of microparticles immersed in the dc discharge of the Plasmakristall-4 experimental facility has been estimated using the particle velocities from experiments performed on Earth and under microgravity conditions on the International Space
