Effect of Dust Grain Sputtering on Self-Gravitational Dusty Plasmas
R. Annou, R. Bharuthram, P. K. Shukla
Abstract
It is shown that the grain mass fluctuation, which is due to the grain sputtering by the attracted ions, may be at the root of a new instability in infinite, unmagnetized and homogeneous dusty plasmas. The growth rate is determined in the framework of two plasma models, viz., a cold and electron depleted plasma, and a plasma where electrons and ions are taken Boltzmannian. This instability may affect the Jeans as well as the agglomeration instabilities.
