Abstract

Magnetic fields can modify the physical properties of a complex plasma in various different ways. Weak magnetic fields in the mT range affect only the electrons while strong fields in the Tesla regime also magnetize the ions. In a rotating dusty plasma, the Coriolis force substitutes the Lorentz force and can be used to create an effective magnetization for the strongly coupled dust particles while leaving electrons and ions unaffected. Here, we present a summary of our recent experimental and theoretical work on magnetized complex plasmas. We discuss the dynamics of dust particles in magnetized discharges, the wave spectra of strongly coupled plasmas, and the excitations in confined plasmas.
