Ac. Das et al., KINETIC ALFVEN-WAVE IN 3-COMPONENT DUSTY PLASMAS, Physical review. E, Statistical physics, plasmas, fluids, and related interdisciplinary topics, 53(4), 1996, pp. 4051-4055
Kinetic Alfven waves in three-component dusty plasmas are investigated
. A dispersion relation for a low-frequency Alfven wave in a dusty pla
sma is obtained. A damped (or growth) mode of a kinetic Alfven wave ha
ving velocity upsilon(A) = B-0/root m(d)n(d0)mu(0) dominated by the du
st particle collective dynamics is shown to exist in a dusty plasma. T
he damping effect is provided by the dust charge fluctuation dynamics.
