[en] This grant supported the publication of student papers that were presented at the 11th Workshop on the Physics of Dusty Plasmas. Papers were published in a Special Issue of the IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science, Vol. 35, Issue 2 in April, 2007. A plasma is a hot, ionized gas and is the most common state of matter (e.g., solid, liquid, gas) in the universe. A dusty plasma arises when this plasma state has positively or negatively charged microparticles suspended within it. The field of dusty plasmas, which started as an outgrowth of the astrophysics community, has matured into a topic of industrial, environmental, and scientific importance. The field of dusty plasma research is a rapidly growing scientific discipline within the plasma sciences. Laboratory investigations of dusty plasma have led to the identification of modified plasma behavior (e.g., dust-modified ion acoustic and ion cyclotron instabilities) and new dust driven modes (e.g., dust acoustic waves). Dusty plasmas have also led to the discovery of new strongly coupled plasma phenomena - so-called plasma crystals. In industrial plasma, where the dust is created as a byproduct of plasma processing, the presence of these suspended microparticles is a major source of contamination.
