What are dusty plasmas?
Dusty plasmas are ionized gases containing small particles of solid
matter.
Various terms are used by researchers to refer this form of matter:
- dusty plasmas
- complex plasmas
- plasma crystals
- fine particle plasmas
- colloidal plasmas
Dusty Plasmas is a research area that is growing rapidly
Growth of publications each year is shown in the chart below.
This is also a highly interdisciplinary area, combining plasma physics,
condensed matter physics, semiconductor technology, astrophysics,
and other areas as well.
