Abstract
The last decade has seen the development of new experimental devices to explore the physics of magnetized dusty plasmas. Because of the small charge-to-mass ratio of the charged microparticles, it is necessary to operate these experiments at high magnetic fields of several Tesla in order to observe the direct effect of the magnetic forces on the transport properties of the charged microparticles. While the study of magnetized dusty plasmas is still the ultimate goal, these experiments have also provided new opportunities to studies regimes of strongly magnetized, low temperature, laboratory plasmas that have not been extensively explored. Experiments show the formation of new types of self- and imposed-ordered structures that form in both the plasma and among the microparticles. This paper summarizes recent experimental observations of plasma filamentation (in the plasma) and will discuss possible connections to ‘dust gridding’ phenomena that are observed in the magnetized dusty plasma experiment device.
