Venus, volcanoes and vacuum cleaners: understanding triboelectric aerosol charging

CDT学生-将在项目提案完成时更新（2023年夏季），但概要描述为：静电荷是通过气溶胶颗粒之间的摩擦（“摩擦电”）相互作用产生的。这种充电导致地球和太空中的灰尘和火山闪电，以及粉末和颗粒混合物的工业加工中的危险。学生将应用理论和实验技术来研究和理解所涉及的机制。主题：基本气溶胶过程

CDT Student - to be updated when project proposal complete (Summer 2023) but outline description is:Electrostatic charge is generated through frictional ("triboelectric") interactions between aerosol particles. This charging causes lightning in dust and volcanoes on Earth and in space, and hazards in industrial processing of powders and granular mixtures. The student will apply both theoretical and experimental techniques to investigate and understand the mechanisms involved.Theme: Basic aerosol processes
