Abstract
The significant aspects of dusty plasmas found in industry and space were studied in laboratory for getting unique information. Charged dust particles have been observed in the rings of Saturn, and are used to manufacture semiconductor microchips. The dynamics of both the systems containing the dust charged particles are controlled by electromagnetic and gravitational forces. Particle-in-cell (PIC) methods are being applied to dusty plasmas, which can handle the inclusion of realistic complications such as ion-dust collisions and non-spherical particle shapes.
