Technical Physics Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

A modified version of the classical coagulation theory in the diffusion approximation is used to study some anomalies in the behavior of the particle size distribution function. It is established that unlike a normal aerosol, in a dusty plasma the dispersion of the distribution and the average particle size may decrease with time.
