Investigation of Probe-Induced Dust Voids in a Weakly Magnetized Dusty Plasma 

LeBlanc, Spencer (2019-12-06)
Dust voids, or regions free of dust grains surrounded by dusty plasmas, have been observed in a wide array of experimental configurations, from microgravity systems, to 3-dimensional dust clouds, to 2-dimensional monolayers. ...

Numerical approaches to investigate small bodies’ properties in their structure and surface with case studies 

Kim, Yaeji (2023-04-27)
Asteroids, comets, and Kuiper-belt objects (aka. Small bodies) can tell us essential information to understand their evolutionary history and advance the history of our solar system. Since the currently available data on ...

Theoretical modeling combined with experimental spectroscopic measurements for the diagnosis of high-Z erosion and transport applications in plasmas 

Johnson, Curtis (2020-12-11)
Understanding plasma-material interaction (PMI) continues to be a challenge for future fusion reactors. High-Z materials (e.g. tungsten, molybdenum) have emerged as leading solutions for plasma facing materials. Erosion ...
