The field of complex (dusty) plasmas—low-temperature plasmas containing charged
microparticles—is reviewed: The major types of experimental complex plasmas are briefly …

Introduction to Dusty Plasma Physics contains a detailed description of the occurrence of
dusty plasmas in our Solar System, the Earth's mesosphere, and in laboratory discharges …

Three important classes of nonlinear phenomena, namely solitons, shocks and vortices in
dusty plasmas, have been discussed. The static and mobile charged dust grains have been …

The effect of nonadiabaticity of dust charge variation arising due to small nonzero values of τ
ch/τ d has been studied where τ ch and τ d are the dust charging and dust hydrodynamical …

We investigate the possibility for dust ion-acoustic solitons to exist. Compressive solitonlike
perturbations are damped and slowed down, mainly due to the plasma absorption and ion …

Propagation of small but finite amplitude ion acoustic solitons and double layers are
investigated in electron–positron–ion plasmas in presence of highly negatively charged …

The results on shock phenomena in dusty plasmas of the Solar System are reviewed. The
problems of dust ion acoustic bow shock in interaction of the solar wind with dusty cometary …

Shock waves with a linear front were experimentally studied in a monolayer hexagonal
Yukawa lattice which was formed from charged monodisperse plastic microspheres and …

We present a rigorous theoretical investigation of electrostatic solitary and shock structures
that may exist in dusty plasmas, by employing the reductive perturbation technique as well …

Recent laboratory observations conclusively reveal that coherent nonlinear waves and
structures (viz., solitons, shocks, Mach cones, voids, vortices, etc.) can be produced in a …
