which occur at altitudes of 80–93 km. Recently, the preseof charged dust in the mesosphere has been detected brect rocket probe measurements, and both negativelypositively charged dust grains have been reported.10,11 Therole of charged dust in mesospheric electric fields is recnized by Zadorozhny.12 The formation of an artificial dustyplasma in the ionosphere was also revealed duringSpacelab 2 mission when the space shuttle orbital manesystem engines were fired.13

Since dust particles are a main element of interest insolar system and in the interstellar medium, there are a nber of future missions~viz. the European Space AgencROSETTA mission for detecting dust on comet 46Wirtanen in 2012, the Cassini spacecraft mission arrivingSaturn in 2004 for exploring in detail the possible dust sidust charge, dust dynamics, as well as other collectivecesses involving charged dust grains! that will provide indetail the properties and global dynamics of charged dgrains. It is anticipated that future rocket campaigns in noern Scandinavia will provide more information regarding tmesospheric dust, while experiments on the InternatioSpace Station will determine the dusty plasma behaviorder microgravity conditions.

Lately, the physics of dusty~complex! plasmas has appeared as one of the most rapidly growing fields of scienbesides the field of Bose–Einstein condensates, as demstrated by the number of published papers in scientific jonals and conference proceedings. It has a tremendous imin astrophysics and low-temperature laboratory discharincluding processing plasmas in the semiconductor indusWhile in the latter one wants to clean up charged dusts whare anathema to microchips, charged dust grains aredeliberately created in low-temperature radio frequencyglow discharges to understand the basic physical proceassociated with the presence of those grains. In laboradischarges, one is able to study the growth of dust graunder gas densities and temperatures typical of the nefrom which the solar system was formed. The particulalook like tiny cauliflowers14 pressed together in irregulastrings—a growth pattern that offers clues to the ratewhich dust particles in interstellar space turned intoclumps of matter, which are large enough to assembleplanets due to gravity. Irregular structures of charged dparticulates also appear in tokamaks.15

In fact, major boosts to dusty plasma research came athe discovery of the dust acoustic wave~DAW!,16 the dustion-acoustic wave~DIAW !,17 the dusty plasma crysta~DPC!,18–20and the dust lattice wave~DLW!.21 We note thatthe idea of the dust acoustic wave~DAW! was put forwardby the present author in the Capri Meeting on Dusty Plasmin July 1989, while Ikezi22 theoretically predicted the Coulomb crystallization of charged dust grains in a strongcoupled dusty plasma system when the ratio betweenCoulomb interaction and the dust thermal energies exce170.

The grains act as a source of etrons when they are charged positively due to the irradiatof ultraviolet ~UV! radiation. Both the positive and negativdust grains can coexist in laboratory and space plasmaappears that the dust grain charging is a new physical proin a dusty plasma, which marks a distinction betweenlatter and the usual multicomponent electron-ion plasma ctaining two ion species.

In this paper, we present the basic physics of dusty pmas and describe the progress that has been made in theof collective processes in dusty plasmas during the lastcade.

However, whenG@1 andk<1,charged dust microspheres strongly interact with each otand we have the possibility of forming Coulomb lattices instrongly coupled dusty plasma. Strongly coupled dusty pmas are created in low-temperature dusty plasma dischafor studying the formation and dynamics of dusty plasmcrystals. They are also found in laser implosion experimeas well as in colloidal systems.

There have been arguments that a dusty plasma is slar to a multi-ion plasma. However, this assertion has torefuted, because a dusty plasma is significantly differfrom a multi-ion plasma in that the presence of masscharged dust grains produce new collective phenomenacompletely different time and length scales. An examplethe DAW16 in which the dust mass provides the inertiwhile the restoring force comes from the pressures ofinertialess electrons and ions. In laboratory dusty plasdischarges,24–29 the DAW frequency is typically 10–20 Hzand video images of the DAW wavefronts are possible.24,28

Also, the dust charge fluctuation dynamics47–53 and dust–dust interactions54–57give rise to new effects. The dust maand shape distributions58 as well as their rotation59,60and theplasma boundary61 also introduce new effects in dusty plamas. Furthermore, there is a dust lattice wave21,62–64whosecounterpart exists only in solids.65 Besides, dusty plasmasupport a great variety of nonlinear structures including dacoustic66 and dust ion-acoustic31,67,68 shock waves as welas Mach cones69 and vortical structures.70–73 Finally, in astrongly coupled dusty plasma we have the possibilitynew attractive forces~viz. the wakefield,74,75 the dipolarinteraction59,76–78 etc.! as well as phase transitiophenomena79,80 in dusty plasma crystals. In contrast to solstate crystals, the latter have many unusual properties.ion charges in solid state crystals are of order unity, whiledusty plasma crystals charges on dust grains are huge~hun-dreds of thousand of the electron charge! and associated interaction energies~typically 900 eV! are many orders ofmagnitude larger than in solid state crystals. Also the lattspacing in dusty plasma crystals is of the order of a mmcontrast to the 0.1 nm scale in solid state crystals. Therefdusty plasma crystals have ordered plasma inhomogenedue to the shielding. It turns out that knowledge of baplasma physics, probe theory, statistical mechanics, asas solid state physics and condensed matter physics isquired for understanding numerous collective processedusty plasmas.

III. CHARGING OF DUST GRAINS

Dust particles are charged due to a variety of procesincluding the bombardment of the dust grain surfacebackground plasma electrons and ions, photoelectron esion by UV radiation, ion sputtering, secondary electron pduction, etc. In low-temperature laboratory plasmas, dparticles are mainly negatively charged when any plaselectrons hitting the surface of the dust grains are attacheit and simply lost from the background plasma. Here,charging process depends on the charging cross sectwhich are determined by the impact parameter of the partthat approaches the grain to distances smaller than theticle size. Thus, the charging cross sections for electronsions are given by, respectively,

is the plasma current through the dust particle surface,vd isthe dust velocity,qe52e,qi5e, and f s(v) is the velocitydistribution of the particle speciess.

If the dusty plasma is close to equilibrium, then the dtribution function f s can be approximated by a Maxwelliadistribution (f s0) with the drift velocity v0 between theplasma and dust. We have

which determines the surface potentialfg of isolated dustgrains. The electrons are initially collected by a dust gradue to their higher thermal velocity relative to the ions. Sinthe grain is electrically floating, it charges to a negativesurface potential,fg,0, in order to repel further electroncollection and enhance ion collection. A sphere in a thermized hydrogen plasma floats tofg522.51T/e, where wehave assumed thatTe5Ti5T andni0'ne0.

The grain mean charge,qd , is related to its surface potential,fg,0, by the grain capacitance,C, which for spheri-cal isolated grains is simplyR, and thusqd5Rfg . Thismodel for the grain charge applies to the case wheregrains are sufficiently far apart~in comparison with the De-bye lengthlD of the dusty plasma!. On the other hand, whenthe spacing between the grains is comparable to or lesslD , the dust grains are closely packed. Here, the differeF5fg2f0 between the surface potentialfg and the plasmapotentialf0 has a smaller magnitude than in the case wd@lD , and consequently the average charge on a dust gqd5FR is smaller than for isolated grains.1 For this case, wereplace fg in Eq. ~16! by F and use ni0 /ne05(12qdnd0 /ene0) to obtain the variation ofF against the am-bient plasma number density for a fixed dust number dennd0. Barkanet al.30 have described the results of a laboratoexperiment on the charging of dust grains in a fully ionizesteady state, magnetized plasma column. By varying thetio d/lD , they experimentally demonstrated the predictreduction42,43 in the grain charge for the case of ‘‘closepacked’’ grains (d/lD,1).

Next, we discuss conditions under which the dust graare charged positively. In an inert gas with dispersed dgrains, the latter are charged positively36,48–50either by UV-induced photoemission from the dust, or by thermionic emsion from radiatively heated dust grains. Both of themechanisms would require dust grains of low work functiW. Examples of low work function material include variou

IV. WAVES IN DUSTY PLASMAS

The addition of charged particulates in an electron-plasma is found to modify or even dominate wave propation, wave instability, wave scattering, etc. The modificatiooccur owing to the inhomogeneity associated with the rdom distribution of charged particulates and the departfrom the conventional quasineutrality condition in aelectron-ion plasma due to the presence of chargedgrains. On the other hand, in multicomponent dusty plasmthere appear new wave modes that are associated withdust grain dynamics. Here, we discuss the physics of theacoustic, dust ion acoustic, and dust lattice waves whhave been experimentally observed.

During the ‘‘Capri Dusty Plasma Physics Meeting’’ iJuly 1989, the author proposed consideration of the wphenomena taking into account the dust grain dynamicsBoltzmann electron and ion distributions. In such a situatiwe can have extremely low phase velocityvp5v/k ~in com-parison with the electron and ion thermal velocities!, low-frequency (v; tens of Hz, which is much smaller than thdust plasma frequency in low-temperature dusty plasmacharges! DAWs16 in which the restoring force comes fromthe electron and ion pressures while the dust mass provthe inertia to maintain the DAWs. The wavelengths (2p/k)of the latter are;0.6 cm, and they appear on a very lontime scale so that their wavefronts can be seen with naeyes.24

The spectra of dusty plasma waves are obtained by Frier analyzing the Vlasov, Poisson, and Maxwell equatiosupplemented by the dust charging equation. In a duplasma, the properties of the electrostatic waves are demined from

Barkan et al.30 performed an experiment in a dusplasma device to investigate the propagation and dampindust ion-acoustic waves. They found that the phase veloof the latter increases in accordance with Eq.~33!. As aconsequence of the phase velocity increase, the ion Landamping rate is significantly reduced. The observed DIAfrequencies were in the range 3–5 kHz~depending on thevalue ofZdnd0 /ni0).

dust charge gradient appears.88 Shukla89 has shown that freeenergy stored in the latter can be coupled to the DAWConsequently, the dusty plasma sheath becomes unsta88

In order to understand the physics of an unstable duplasma sheath, we first consider its equilibrium properwhich are governed by nd0u05constant, u0u081 (Q0 /md) f081gx50, u0Q085I e01I i0[I 0 , and e(ni0

The unperturbeOLM currents are I e052pR2ene(f0)3(8/p)1/2v te exp(eQ0 /RTe) and I i05pR2eni(f0)3(8/p)1/2v t i(12eQ0 /RTi). It follows that in the absence othe equilibrium dust fluid velocity, we haveQ0E0x5mdgx

and I e01I i050. The latter determines the equilibriumcharge on the dust grain surface, while the former dictathat the balance between the sheath electric and graforces is responsible for the levitation of the dust grains.the other hand, in the presence of a uniform dust flow, thappears a dust charge gradientQ085I 0 /u0, which can be ex-pressed as Q0852pR2e(8/pu0

Finally, we discuss the instability of the dust acouswaves in a dusty plasma which contains nonspherical~elon-gated! rotating dust grains.60 Here, the dipole moments of thdust grains are nonzero.

VI. WAKEFIELD

Besides the Debye–Hu¨ckel and far-field potentials,75

there also appears an oscillatory wake potential74,75 in adusty plasma. The wakefield, which may be responsiblethe attraction of charged dust grains of like polarity, arisdue to the resonance interaction of a test dust charge wmoves with a velocity close to the modified ion acousticdust acoustic speeds. The physics of the charged dust gattraction is similar to the electron attraction in supercoductors in which Cooper pairs are formed due to collectinteraction involving phonons. In dusty plasmas, the latare replaced by the DIAWs and DAWs. Negatively chargdust grains feel an attractive force in the negative part ofoscillatory potential,74,75where the positive ions are focuseThe wake potential of a test charge in the presence ofDAW in an unmagnetized plasma is75

VII. NONLINEAR STRUCTURES

In this section, we discuss possible nonlinear structuin dusty plasmas. Specifically, we focus on dust ion-acou~DIA ! shocks and DIA holes. The latter are due to ttrapped~vortex-like! ion distribution.

Dust ion-acoustic shocks in an unmagnetized duplasma may arise when there is a balance between thelinearity ~associated with the harmonic generation! and thekinematic viscosity introduced by the dust-ion drag. The fmation of shock structures in dusty plasmas has beenserved by Nakamuraet al.31 and Luo et al.67 Luo et al.67

have presented an experimental investigation of the effecnegatively charged dust grains on the ion acoustic shockmation in a Q machine. Luoet al.67 observed that ion acoustic compressional pulses steepened as they traveled throudusty plasma if the percentage of the negative charges inplasma on the dust grains was>75%.

Nakamuraet al.31 found that in the linear regime, the phavelocity of the DIA waves increases and the wave suffheavy damping when the dust number density in an election plasma is considerably increased. Furthermore, Namura et al31 found that an oscillatory ion-acoustic shocwave in a usual argon plasma transforms into a monotoshock front when it travels through the dusty plasma columThe formation of the shock structure is due to a balabetween the harmonic nonlinearity and a kinematic viscothat is produced by ion-dust collisions. The dynamics ofshock structure associated with DIA waves is modelledthe Kortweg–de Vries~K–dV!-Burgers equation68

The above discussions of the formation of DIA showaves and DIA holes are limited to a weakly coupled duplasma. However, a recent laboratory experiment by Ssonovet al.69 has shown the formation of Mach cone shockor V-shaped disturbances created by superdust acousticjects, in two-dimensional Coulomb crystals. Mach conwere double, first compressive then rarefactive, due tostrongly coupled crystalline state. There are also indicatiof probe-induced particle circulation~Law et al.70! as well asvortex formation71–73 in strongly coupled plasma systems.

VIII. COLLECTIVE PROCESSES IN A DUSTYMAGNETOPLASMA

The foregoing investigations have dealt with chargiand numerous collective processes in an unmagnetized dplasma. However, laboratory and space plasmas are emded in an external magnetic fieldzB0, where z is the unitvector along thez direction andB0 is the strength of themagnetic field. While the charging of dust grains in an eternal magnetic field is not fully explored at the presestage, there have been several attempts to examineplasma wave spectra,94–105 wakefields,106,107 and nonenve-lope solitons108 in a magnetized dusty plasma, by ignorinthe dust charge fluctuation dynamics. The presence oexternal magnetic field can significantly affect the velocitof the plasma species. For example, when the wavequency is much smaller than the electron gyrofrequevce5eB0 /mec, we can have modified lower-hybrid~LH!waves (vci ,vcd!uvu!vce)

Since the radar scatters with wanumbersks52k0, this LH instability, whose growth time istypically 0.25 ms, is relevant for the observations reportedRef. 13. Furthermore, we note that streaming electronsdrive EIC waves, which have been observed in a duplasma laboratory experiment96 that contains an externamagnetic field (B0<0.4 T!.

IX. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS

In this paper, we have described various collective pcesses in dusty plasmas. Starting from the occurrencedusty plasmas, we have described the properties of dplasmas as well as discussed charging of dust grains andwaves, new instabilities, and some coherent nonlinear sttures that are observed in an unmagnetized dusty plasThe focus was on the dust acoustic, dust ion acoustic,dust lattice waves. The low-frequency dust acoustic waare excited due to the streaming and kinetic instabilities iuniform plasma, while there appears a new class of instaity in a nonuniform dusty plasma sheath which contains aelectric field and an equilibrium dust charge gradient. Tlatter is maintained by the equilibrium electron and ion crents that reach the dust grain surface, as well as by a fiequilibrium dust flow that is driven by the dc electric field.is found that when the forces associated with the dc elecfield and the dust charge gradient oppose each other, a dplasma is subjected to an absolute instability. This instabihas been observed by Nunomuraet al.88 near the sheathboundary in a dusty plasma. Physically, instabilities aribecause the dc sheath electric field does work on thegrains to create dust charge fluctuations which cannot kin phase with the potential of electrostatic disturbances inonuniform dusty plasma with a dust charge gradient. Thfree energy stored in the latter is coupled to unstable elecstatic waves when the dc electric field~in association withthe dust charge fluctuation! produces a charge imbalance

It is found that the rotational eneof the dust grains can be coupled to plasma oscillations wthe wave frequency is close to the rotational angularquency of the dust grain. The instability of the longitudinwaves occurs only in the case when the wave vector liethe plane of the dust grains. Also pointed out is the imptance of collective effects with regard to the generationwakefields in dusty plasmas. The concept of wakefieldsassociated charged dust attraction in a linear chain hasverified by computer simulations and in laboratory expements. Finally, we have illuminated the physical propertof DIA shocks and DIA holes that were observed in a labratory dusty plasma device by Nakamuraet al.31 Attemptshave been made to correlate several theoretical predictwith laboratory observations and computer simulations idusty plasma. Due to the limitation of pages here, weable to discuss only a selected class of wave phenomenaweakly coupled dusty magnetoplasma. We have neithercussed ionization nor ion-drag related instabilities109 whichseem to be observed experimentally.110 Several laboratoryexperiments112–114have demonstrated the effects of poloidion flows associated withE3B0 drift on dust particle behavior in magnetized plasmas. However, we do hope thatpaper shall stimulate further studies of collective proces@linear waves~viz. DLWs, shear waves, etc.! and their insta-bilities as well as numerous nonlinear structures~viz. soli-tons, shocks, voids, and vortices!# in a strongly coupleddusty magnetoplasma. In closing, we stress that the resulthe present investigation should also be useful in understing the salient features of low-frequency fluctuations andsociated nonlinear structures~viz. shock waves! in planetaryrings, in interstellar dust-molecular clouds, in supernovaplosions, in cosmic particle acceleration, and in cometplasmas where massive charged particulates are commo
