Complex plasma: dusts in plasma (2007, background): “The charge separation can be induced through the collisions between dust particles, known as triboelectric charging [63–66].”
Simulations of the photoelectron sheath and dust levitation on the lunar surface (2010, unknown): “…1972; Rennilson and Criswell, 1974; Berg et al., 1974; Zook and McCoy, 1991] and laboratory experiments have demonstrated the ability to charge and transport micron‐sized dust grains in a plasma environment [Sickafoose et al., 2000, 2001, 2002; Flanagan and Goree, 2006; Wang et al., 2009].”
Contact charging of lunar and Martian dust simulants (2002, background): “A separate dust charging experiment [Sickafoose et al., 2001] detected a large amount of triboelectric charge on planetary regolith analogs JSC-1 (lunar regolith simulant) and JSC-Mars-1 (Martian regolith simulant).”
Lunar surface: Dust dynamics and regolith mechanics (2007, methodology): “…cm 3, the Debye length at the surface is lD 66 cm. [45] More detailed solutions of the charge distribution, including particle-in-cell calculations [Sickafoose et al., 2001] and solutions of Poisson’s equation including photoelectron and plasma populations [Nitter et al., 1998] give a vertical…”
