Observation of Vortex Patterns in a Magnetized Dusty Plasma System
【摘要】 <正> Vortex patterns of dust particles have been observed in a magnetized dusty plasmasystem.The formation mechanism of two-dimensional(2D)vortex patterns has been investigatedby analysing the forces acting on dust particles and molecular dynamics(MD)simulations in a 2Dconfined magnetized dusty plasma.It has been found that with a weak confining electric field anda strong magnetic field,the particles’trajectories will form a vortex shape.The simulation resultsagree with our experimental observations.In our experiments,vortex patterns can be induced viacircular rotation of particles by changing the rf(radio-frequency) power in a magnetized dustyplasma.
