Abstract

Measurements of the kinetic velocity space distribution function of 3.11μm diam melamine and 1.51μm diam silica particles in an argon dc glow discharge dusty plasma are made through the use of stereoscopic particle image velocimetry. These distribution functions are then used to determine the kinetic temperature of the dust component. These measurements show that the kinetic temperature of the dust component is significantly larger than the other plasma components (electrons, ions, and background neutrals).
