ABSTRACT

Investigation of fluids at the most fundamental level, the kinetic level, is not possible. Complex plasmas can serve here as a model system. This is due to the fact that one of its components can be visualised individually and the particle motion can be tracked. Complex plasmas consist of ions, electrons, charged microparticles and neutral gas. The microparticles − also called dust particles − are of some micrometer size. In our experiments we study such fluids at the kinetic level.
