Strongly-Coupled Dusty Plasmas

为了了解这些新型等离子体环境中相变的机制，将对强耦合尘埃等离子体的基本特性进行实验、理论和计算研究。尘埃等离子体可能存在于星际介质、工业等离子体反应器和大气中。由于这项研究具有广泛和跨学科的特点，多学科活动厅正在参与资助工作。

Experimental, theoretical and computational research into the fundamental properties of strongly coupled dusty plasmas will be performed in order to understand the mechanism of phase transitions in these novel plasma environments. Dusty plasmas may be found in the interstellar medium, in industrial plasma reactors and in the atmosphere. As a consequence of the broad, interdisciplinary character of the research, the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities is participating in the funding.
