Abstract
In this work, linear stability analysis of a four-fluid optically thin plasma consisting of electrons, ions, neutral atoms, and charged dust particles is performed with respect to the radiation-condensation (RC) instability. The energy budget of the plasma involves the input from heating through photoelectron emission by dust particles under external ultraviolet radiation as well as radiative losses in inelastic electron-neutral, electron-ion, and neutral-neutral collisions. It is shown that negatively charged particles stimulate the RC instability in the sense that the conditions for the instability to hold are wider than similar conditions in a single-fluid description.
