Complex plasmas, also known as dusty plasmas, are composed of a weakly ionized gas and charged microparticles and represent the plasma state of soft matter.
In the ground laboratory, microparticles are levitated in the (pre)sheath region above the bottom electrode forming a two dimensional complex plasma.
Collaborating with DLR and JIHT, experiments are performed under microgravity conditions, where three-dimensional complex plasma can be formed.
