ABSTRACT
The current-driven electrostatic ion-cyclotron (EIC) instability is studied in
presence of a transverse dc electric fields in a collisional magnetized dusty plasma.
We derive the appropriate charging equation self consistently by using the Vlasov
equation.
1. INTRODUCTION
Fluctuations of the dust grain charge are found to be a source of wave
damping or growth1-2 . Current-driven EIC waves in presence of a transverse dc
electric field in magnetized plasma without dust has been studied experimentally3
and theoretically4 earlier.
2. INSTABILITY ANALYSIS
Dusty plasma densities ne0 , ni0 , and nd0 , static magnetic field B is in
the z-direction, charge, mass and temperature for three species are (-e,m,Te),
(e,mi ,Ti), and (-Qd0 ,md ,Td), collisional frequency (= υe for electrons and =0 for
ions), dc electric fields E0 is in the x-direction, drift of magnitude vE=cE0/B is in
the y-direction. In addition drift vde along the magnetic field direction.

R=kyvE/kzvde. If ni0/ne0 =1 and nd0→0, i.e., β→0, we recover the expression for the
growth rate and the dispersion relation [cf. Eqs. (23) and (24)] for the ion-cyclotron
waves in presence of a transverse dc electric fields of Sharma et al.4
3. RESULTS
1. Dusty plasma parameters6
potassium ion plasma density ni0 ≈ 109–1010 cm-3, ne0 ≈ 109 cm-3, relative
density of negatively charged dust grains δ(=ni0/ne0)= 0 to 8.0, Te≈ Ti ≈ 0.2 eV,
B =0.1x103 G, ωp =1.78x109 rad/s, ωci =0.23x105 rad/s (potassium), nd0 ~5x104
cm-3, a≈1x10-4 cm, vE =3.3x104 cm/sec, mi /m (potassium) ~1x105 , e(g -0)/mi
vti 2 = -1.71, ky =0.1 cm-1 , kz =1.0 cm-1 ( i.e., k 2 k z 2 ). We have plotted in Fig.
1 the normalized real frequency ( ωr / ωci ) of the Current driven EIC waves as a
function of δ. The normalized wave frequency (ωr /ωci ) increases about 10 %
when δ changes from 1 to 4.0. Barkan et al.6 have found that the wave frequency
was some 10- 20% larger than the ion-cyclotron frequency in presence of dust.
Hence our unstable wave frequency results, qualitatively and quantitatively, are
similar to the experimental observations of Barkan et al. We have plotted in Fig.
2 the normalized growth rate (γ/ ωci ) of the current driven EIC wave instability
as a function of relative density of negatively charged dust δ for the same
parameters as Fig. 1 and for e ~1x108 sec-1 . The normalized growth rate (γ/
ωci ) decreases monotonically with the relative density of negatively charged
dust δ.
