Abstract
Two novel mechanisms for spontaneous generation of magnetic fields in dusty plasmas are presented. These are a new dust–plasma battery involving the cross product of the gradient of the dust charge density and the electron–ion pressures, as well as a new Weibel-like instability involving ion pressure anisotropy and resistive electron motions. The relevance of the present investigation to magnetic fields in astrophysical objects is discussed.
