Experimental data on the active Brownian motion of single particles in the RF (radio-frequency) discharge plasma under the influence of thermophoretic force, induced by laser radiation, depending on the material and type of surface of the particle, are presented. Unlike passive Brownian particles, active Brownian particles, also known as micro-swimmers, move directionally. It was shown that different dust particles in gas discharge plasma can convert the energy of a surrounding medium (laser radiation) into the kinetic energy of motion. The movement of the active particle is a superposition of chaotic motion and self-propulsion.

AbstractAbsorption of probe laser radiation by a mixture of even isotopes of neon in a gas discharge plasma is investigated by the method of magnetic scanning of 3 s _2–2 p _4 transition. The contours of absorption lines of isotopes are resolved by means of numerical modeling. It is discovered that, upon decrease in relative concentration of one of the isotopes, its contribution to absorption is replaced by gain. The effect is found to be caused by radiative transfer of excitation energy between atoms of different kinds in the absence of a difference in level energies (the process known as optical pumping). The effect of this mechanism turned out to be substantial for the upper level transitions from which to the ground state are allowed while being absent for the lower level of the transition from which such transitions are forbidden although other decay channels are available.

Studies of dusty plasma have been actively carried out for about a quarter of a century in many laboratories on Earth, and on board the International Space Station under microgravity conditions. At present, a new experiment is being prepared. We describe the goals and objectives of the experiment, its features and differences from previous experiments, explain the need for it in microgravity. The objective of the experiment is to study the evolution of the open dissipative systems of strongly interacting macroparticles in a gas-discharge plasma, to obtain data on phase transitions and dynamics of active Brownian particles and dynamics of defects and dislocations in plasma-dust structures. Key words: dusty plasma, microgravity, cosmic experiment, open thermodynamic systems, active Brownian particles
