Enhanced Charging and Mobilization of Photoemitting Dust Particles in a Low‐Density Plasma by Josef L. Richmond, José H. Pagán Muñoz, Xu Wang, Mihály Horányi, Joshua R. Machacek, Christine Charles, Roderick W. Boswell

“…Abstract We present the first observations of dust charging and mobilization in a combined vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) and plasma environment. It is experimentally demonstrated that exposing photoemitting dust particles to a low‐density plasma enhanced the charge on the particles, accompanied by a significant increase in dust mobilization compared to VUV or plasma exposure alone. …”
