摘要:
国际空间站上的 PlasmaKristall-4 实验可用于研究等离子体与尘埃粒子之间的三维相互作用。此前对 PK-4 环境的模拟已在直流放电中发现了快速移动的电离波[1]。这些电离波使等离子体参数发生高达一个数量级的变化,可能影响 PK-4 实验中观察到的链状自组织机制。在此,我们采用分子动力学模拟,引入随时间变化的等离子体条件,以研究其对尘埃带电和静电势的影响。为了描述等离子体条件的平均值与随时间变化的等离子体条件之间的差异,我们提出了一个模型来重现电势,该模型同时考虑了来自尘埃颗粒的负电势和来自离子尾迹的正电势。
英文摘要:
The PlasmaKristall-4 experiment on the International Space Station allows for the study of the 3-dimensional interaction between plasma and dust particles. Previous simulations of the PK-4 environment have discovered fast moving ionization waves in the dc discharge[1]. These ionization waves vary the plasma parameters by up to an order of magnitude, which may affect the mechanisms responsible for the self-organization of chains seen in the PK-4 experiment. Here, we adapt a molecular dynamics simulation to employ temporally varying plasma conditions in order to investigate the effect on the dust charging and electrostatic potential. In order to describe the differences between the average of the plasma conditions and the time-varying plasma condition, we present a model to reproduce the potential that takes into account the negative potential from the dust grain and the positive potential from the ion wake.
