Torus-Shaped Dust Clouds in Magnetized Anodic Plasmas

  • 1. Institute for Experimental and Applied Physics, Christian-Albrechts University, D-24098 Kiel (Germany)

Description

The generation of a torus-shaped dust cloud in an anodic plasma is decribed. The confined dust particles perfom a rotational motion around the torus major axis. The structure of the cloud in dependence of the external parameters are observed and the rotation velocity of the particles was measured and compared with a simple estimate.
