Abstract: | The charge density fluctuation of low frequency in a dusty plasma, which is derived from the longitudinal dielectric permittivity
of the dusty plasma, has been studied by kinetic theory. The results show that theP value, which describes the relative charge density on the dust in the plasma, and the charging frequency of a dust particle
Ω
c
, which describes the ratio of charge changing of the dust particles, determine the character of the charge density fluctuation
of low frequency. For a dusty plasma ofP≪1, when the charging frequency Ω
c
, is much smaller than the dusty plasma frequency ωd, there is a strong charge density fluctuation which is of character of dust acoustic eigenwave. For a dusty plasma ofP≫1, when the frequency Ω
c
, is much larger than ω
d
there are weaker fluctuations with a wide spectrum. The results have been applied to the ionosphere and the range of radius
and density of dust particles is found, where a strong charge density fluctuation of low frequency should exist. |
