Observation of rotating dust particles

Abstract

Experimental observation of rotation in a strongly coupled dusty plasma in the absence of external magnetic field is reported. It appears that self consistent field of the rotating particles is responsible for the rotation. The rotating structure resembles a convective cell pattern in a vertical plane, which indicates that gravity plays a crucial role.
