Dusty plasmas have been studied in argon, radio frequency (rf) glow discharge plasmas with magnetic fields up to 1.5 T. Plasmas were formed between a powered bottom electrode and a grounded top electrode in which an aluminum wire mesh is fixed in the center. This work will examine the experimental conditions at which imposed, ordered structures form within the dusty plasma. These imposed, ordered structures, as reported in earlier works, are characterized by the alignment of dust particles to the spatial structure of the wire mesh in the top electrode and occur at high magnetic fields (B ≥ 1 T) and low neutral pressure (P ≤ 100 mTorr). A pair of parameters will be established to characterize the degree to which the dust particles are affected by these imposed ordered structures on both long and short time scales. Finally, using these parameters, it will be shown that a correlation exists between the onset of imposed, ordered structures and the magnetization of ions within the plasma.
