Hypocycloid and epicycloid motions of irregular grain (pine pollen) are observed for the first time in unmagnetized dust plasma in 2D horizontal plane. Hypocycloid motions occur both inside and outside the glass ring which confines the grain. Epicycloid motion only appears outside the glass ring. Cuspate cycloid motions, circle motion, and stationary grain are also observed. All these motions are related with both the initial conditions of dropped grain and the discharge parameters. The Magnus force originated from the spin of the irregular grain is confirmed by comparison experiments with regular microspheres, and it plays important role on these (cuspate) cycloid motions. The observed complex motions are explained in term of force analysis and numerical simulations. Periodical change of the cyclotron radius as the grain travelling results in the (cuspate) cycloid motions. Our results show that the (cuspate) cycloid motions are distinctive features of irregular grain immersed in plasma.

A new concept for spinning unmagnetized plasma is demonstrated experimentally. Plasma is confined by an axisymmetric multi-cusp magnetic field and biased cathodes are used to drive currents and impart a torque in the magnetized edge. Measurements sho
w that flow viscously couples momentum from the magnetized edge (where the plasma viscosity is small) into the unmagnetized core (where the viscosity is large) and that the core rotates as a solid body. To be effective, collisional viscosity must overcome the ion-neutral drag due to charge exchange collisions.
Differentially rotating flows of unmagnetized, highly conducting plasmas have been created in the Plasma Couette Experiment. Previously, hot-cathodes have been used to control plasma rotation by a stirring technique [C. Collins et al., Phys. Rev. Let
t. 108, 115001(2012)] on the outer cylindrical boundary---these plasmas were nearly rigid rotors, modified only by the presence of a neutral particle drag. Experiments have now been extended to include stirring from an inner boundary, allowing for generalized circular Couette flow and opening a path for both hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic experiments, as well as fundamental studies of plasma viscosity. Plasma is confined in a cylindrical, axisymmetric, multicusp magnetic field, with $T_e< 10$ eV, $T_i<1$ eV, and $n_e<10^{11}$ cm$^{-3}$. Azimuthal flows (up to 12 km/s, $M=V/c_ssim 0.7$) are driven by edge ${bf J times B}$ torques in helium, neon, argon, and xenon plasmas, and the experiment has already achieved $Rmsim 65$ and $Pmsim 0.2 - 12$. We present measurements of a self-consistent, rotation-induced, species-dependent radial electric field, which acts together with pressure gradient to provide the centripetal acceleration for the ions. The maximum flow speeds scale with the Alfv{e}n critical ionization velocity, which occurs in partially ionized plasma. A hydrodynamic stability analysis in the context of the experimental geometry and achievable parameters is also explored.
Sardar et al. [Phys. Plasmas 23, 073703 (2016)] have studied the stability of small amplitude dust ion acoustic solitary waves in a collisionless unmagnetized electron - positron - ion - dust plasma. They have derived a Kadomtsev Petviashvili (KP) eq
uation to investigate the lowest - order stability of the solitary wave solution of the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation for long-wavelength plane-wave transverse perturbation when the weak dependence of the spatial coordinates perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave is taken into account. In the present paper, we have extended the lowest - order stability analysis of KdV solitons given in the paper of Sardar et al. [Phys. Plasmas 23, 073703 (2016)] to higher order with the help of multiple-scale perturbation expansion method of Allen and Rowlands [J. Plasma Phys. 50, 413 (1993); 53, 63 (1995)]. It is found that solitary wave solution of the KdV equation is stable at the order k^2, where k is the wave number for long-wavelength plane-wave perturbation.
Employing the Sagdeev pseudo-potential technique the ion acoustic solitary structures have been investigated in an unmagnetized collisionless plasma consisting of adiabatic warm ions, nonthermal electrons and isothermal positrons. The qualitatively d
ifferent compositional parameter spaces clearly indicate the existence domains of solitons and double layers with respect to any parameter of the present plasma system. The present system supports the negative potential double layer which always restricts the occurrence of negative potential solitons. The system also supports positive potential double layers when the ratio of the average thermal velocity of positrons to that of electrons is less than a critical value. However, there exists a parameter regime for which the positive potential double layer is unable to restrict the occurrence of positive potential solitary waves and in this region of the parameter space, there exist positive potential solitary waves after the formation of a positive potential double layer. Consequently, positive potential supersolitons have been observed. The nonthermality of electrons plays an important role in the formation of positive potential double layers as well as positive potential supersolitons. The formation of positive potential supersoliton is analysed with the help of phase portraits of the dynamical system corresponding to the ion acoustic solitary structures of the present plasma system.
The role of hot electrons in charging of dust grains is investigated in a two-temperature hydrogen plasma. A variety of dust particles are introduced into the system and secondary electron emission (SEE) from each of the dust grains has been reported
. A cylindrical Langmuir probe is used for determining the plasma parameters and a Faraday cup is connected to an electrometer in order to measure the dust current. The electrometer readings confirm the electron emission from the dust and SEE is observed from the tungsten dust in a low-pressure experimental plasma device for the first time.
