Charging and coagulation of dust in protoplanetary environments

Matthews, Lorin; Land, Victor; Hyde, Truell (Astrophysical Journal, )

Combining a particle–particle, particle–cluster, and cluster–cluster agglomerationmodel with an aggregate charging model, the coagulation and charging of dust particles in plasma environments relevant for protoplanetary ...

Charging and Growth of Fractal Dust Grains

Matthews, Lorin; Hyde, Truell (IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science, )

The structure and evolution of aggregate grains formed within a plasma environment are dependent on the charge acquired by the micron-sized dust grains during the coagulation process. The manner in which the charge is ...

Charging of aggregate grains in astrophysical environments

Ma, Qianyu; Matthews, Lorin; Land, Victor; Hyde, Truell (Astrophysical Journal, )

The charging of dust grains in astrophysical environments has been investigated with the assumption that these grains are homogeneous spheres. However, there is evidence which suggests that many grains in astrophysical ...
