The topics of lofted dust, ejected atomic and molecular species, and plasma interactions at
the Moon have made revolutionary strides since the last 'New Views of the Moon'review in …

We report on laboratory experiments to shed light on dust charging and transport that have
been suggested to explain a variety of unusual phenomena on the surfaces of airless …

The charge state of dust particles on regolith surfaces exposed to ultraviolet radiation or
plasma is investigated for understanding the role of electrostatic dust transport in the surface …

Dust mobilized on the lunar surface due to natural processes and/or human activities can
readily stick to spacesuits, optical devices, and mechanical components, for example. This …

In recent years, EUV lithography scanner systems have entered high-volume manufacturing
for state-of-the-art integrated circuits, with critical dimensions down to 10 nm. This …

Electrostatic dust lofting may play an important role in surface evolution of airless bodies as
indicated from a number of unexplained observations, including the lunar horizon glow and …

Electrostatic dust lofting has been suggested to explain a number of unresolved phenomena
on airless planetary bodies such as the lunar horizon glow, the dust ponds on asteroid Eros …

We present the laboratory results on electrostatic dust lofting rates expected on airless
planetary bodies. Dust lofting is shown to be a time‐dependent process that begins at a …

Electrostatic dust levitation is the phenomenon where dust grains hover above the surface of
an airless body due to the approximate balancing of the forces attracting the grain to and …

Two floating sheath solutions with strong electron emission in planar geometry have been
proposed, a “space-charge limited”(SCL) sheath and an “inverse” sheath. SCL and inverse …
