  • Title: Twisted electrostatic ion-cyclotron waves in dusty plasmas.
    Author: Shukla PK.
    Journal: Phys Rev E Stat Nonlin Soft Matter Phys; 2013 Jan; 87(1):015101. PubMed ID: 23410477.
    Abstract:
    We show the existence of a twisted electrostatic ion-cyclotron (ESIC) wave carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) in a magnetized dusty plasma. For our purposes, we derive a 3D wave equation for the coupled ESIC and dust ion-acoustic (DIA) waves from the hydrodynamic equations that are composed of the continuity and momentum equations, together with Poisson's equation. The 3D wave equation reveals the formation of a braided or twisted ESIC wave structure carrying OAM. The braided or twisted ESIC wave structure can trap and transport plasma particles in magnetoplasmas, such as those in Saturn's F-ring and in the forthcoming magnetized dusty plasma experiments.
