TLDR
In this paper, the existence of a low-frequency electrostatic wave in an unmagnetized collisionless dusty plasma is pointed out, and the wave can be used to generate a new low frequency electric current.Abstract:

Complex (dusty) plasmas: current status, open issues, perspectives
TL;DR: The field of complex (dusty) plasmas is reviewed in this paper, where the major types of experimental complex Plasmas are briefly discussed, including grain charging in different regimes, interaction between charged particles, and momentum exchange between different species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experiments on ion-acoustic waves in dusty plasmas
TL;DR: In this article, an experiment on ion-acoustic (IA) waves in dusty plasmas was performed in the dusty plasma device (DPD) of Xu et al. They found that the presence of negatively charged dust grains increases the phase velocity of the waves and also reduces the strength of the collisionless (Landau) damping to which the waves are subjected.

Colloquium : Fundamentals of dust-plasma interactions
Padma Kant Shukla,Bengt Eliasson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the underlying physics of different forces that act on a charged dust grain is reviewed, including wakefield and ion focusing effects and dipole-dipole interactions between unevenly charged dust rods.

A survey of dusty plasma physics
TL;DR: Dusty plasmas also occur in noctilucent clouds in the arctic troposphere and mesosphere, cloud-to-ground lightening in thunderstorms containing smoke-contaminated air over the United States, as well as in microelectronic processing devices, in low-temperature laboratory discharges, and in tokamaks.

Laboratory studies of waves and instabilities in dusty plasmas
TL;DR: Theoretical and experimental studies of low-frequency electrostatic waves in plasmas containing negatively charged dust grains are described in this paper, where the presence of charged dust is shown to modify the properties of ion-acoustic waves and electrostatic ion-cyclotron waves through the quasineutrality condition even though the dust grains do not participate in the wave dynamics.

Dusty plasmas in the solar system
TL;DR: The processes that lead to charging of dust grains in a plasma are briefly reviewed in this article, where it is shown that the radial transport of dust contained in the spokes may be responsible for the rich radial structure in Saturn's rings.

The physics of dusty plasmas
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the distribution, nature and properties of dust particles in space, their charging due to plasma and other currents and the effects of their presence on plasma behaviour is presented.

Ion plasma waves in dusty plasmas: Halley's comet
TL;DR: In this article, an equation describing low-frequency electrostatic perturbations on a non-homogeneous background is derived, where the inhomogeneity is due to a distribution of charged grains, each surrounded by an equilibrium statistical distribution of plasma particles.
