Description

The influence of charge variations on the dynamics of mono layered structure levitating above the powered electrode in planar rf discharge have been considered. We analysed the random fluctuations of the particle charges, caused by the stochastic variations of charging current, and also the fluctuations of charges due to their random motion in the presence of charge gradient in the vertical direction. We found that the oscillation kinetic energy acquired is mostly due to the fluctuations of the charging currents
