Abstract

Ion drift in gas mixtures has certain properties that can be used to generate ion flows with desired characteristics. For example, when the field is strong, ion heating is significant, and there is a large difference in atomic weight between ions and atoms, the ion velocity distribution can be highly anisotropic. Ion distribution anisotropy, in turn, can cause a substantial change in properties of dust structures in plasmas. Experiments on dusty plasma structures in glow discharge in mixtures of light and heavy gases (helium and krypton) are performed, and results of numerical simulations of ion and electron drift in the mixture are presented.
