Abstract

The process of occurrence of rotational motion of dusty plasma in a longitudinal magnetic field was investigated. It was experimentally found that the occurrence of rotation depends on the number of dust particles in the direction perpendicular to the magnetic induction vector, as well as on their vertical position in the dust trap (i.e., the magnitude of the electric field). The value of the threshold for the appearance of rotation in the magnetic field at a constant number of particles depends on the particle size and discharge conditions. The parameters of the experiment are selected, at which the effect manifests itself in detail. It has been established that for stationary rotation, a stable position of dust particles in the cross section is required, which corresponds to the filling of the shells of a rotating dust structure.
