Charge Fluctuation of Dust Grains and its Impact on Dusty Wave Propagation

Plasma Physics 2007-05-23 v1 Space Physics

Abstract

In this paper we consider the influence of dust charge fluctuations on damping of the dust-ion-acoustic waves. Fluid approximation of longitudinal electrostatic waves in unmagnetized plasmas is considered. We show that for a weak acoustic wave the attenuation depends on a phenomenological charging coefficient.
