Description
Analytical expressions describing electron energy probability functions (EEPFs) in glow and afterglow dusty plasmas are obtained from the homogeneous Boltzmann equation for electrons. At large energies in a glow dusty plasma, the quasiclassical approach for calculation of the EEPF is applied. Considering the afterglow case, the analytical expressions are obtained assuming that the electron energy loss is mainly due to momentum-transfer electron-neutral collisions and due to deposition of electrons on dust particles. Effect of dust particles on the EEPF is analyzed.
