Effects of Barnett Magnetic Dipole–Dipole Interaction on Grain Growth and Destruction
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Rapidly spinning magnetic grains can acquire large magnetic dipole moments due to the Barnett effect. Here we study the new effect of Barnett magnetic dipole–dipole interaction on grain–grain collisions and grain growth, assuming that grains are spun up ...

Physical Processes on Circumplanetary Dust [PDF]
International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1991 Abstract The life cycles of grains in circumplanetary space are governed by various physical processes that alter sizes and modify orbits. Lifetimes are quite short, perhaps 102-104 years for typical circumplanetary grains of 1 micron radius. Thus particles must be continually supplied to the circumplanetary complex, probably by the grinding down of

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present a new model of interstellar dust in which large grains are a single composite material, “astrodust,” and nanoparticle-sized grains come in distinct varieties including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). We argue that a single-composition

Physical Modeling of the Zodiacal Dust Cloud [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 2001 This review is based on extensive work done in collaboration with N. Gorkavyi, J. Mather, and T. Taidakova, which aimed at physical modeling of the interplanetary dust (IPD) cloud in the Solar System, i.e., establishing a link between the observable characteristics of the zodiacal cloud and the dynamical and physical properties of the parent minor ...

Investigation of Dust Grains by Optical Tweezers for Space Applications
The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 Cosmic dust plays a dominant role in the universe, especially in the formation of stars and planetary systems. Furthermore, the surface of cosmic dust grains is the benchwork where molecular hydrogen and simple organic compounds are formed. We manipulate

A review of nanoparticle decharging in atmospheric pressure plasma afterglows
Frontiers in Physics, 2022 Plasma afterglows interacting with dust grains present a dynamic environment in which negatively charged dust grains leaving the plasma bulk experience an environment with plasma conditions transient in space and time.

Orbital-motion-limited theory of dust charging and plasma response
, 2014 The foundational theory for dusty plasmas is the dust charging theory that provides the dust potential and charge arising from the dust interaction with a plasma.

Journal of Low Frequency Noise, Vibration and Active Control, 2019 Ultralow-frequency dust acoustic waves in plasma are an important branch of study in plasma physics. Due to the important application of dust acoustic waves in the space environment, industrial processing, and the laboratory, they have aroused great ...

Depletion patterns and dust evolution in the ISM [PDF]
, 1999 We review the use of elemental depletions in determining the composition of interstellar dust and present a new interpretation of the elemental depletion patterns for the dust forming elements in a range of diffuse cloud types. We discuss this within the
