Abstract: | We study the dynamics of dust particles in a stratified glow discharge in inhomogeneous magnetic fields. Dust structures are formed in standing striations, in which traps for dust particles arise. When a magnetic field is applied, these structures begin to rotate. The observations were carried out in striations near the end of the solenoid, where the region of an inhomogeneous magnetic field begins. With an increase in the magnetic field, the dusty structure can be deformed. The rotation of a dusty structure in an inhomogeneous magnetic field has been studied in detail; it has its own peculiarities in comparison with rotation in a uniform field. We have considered the mechanisms of such rotation and estimated its velocity. |
