Dynamics of nonspherical, fractal-like water-ice particles in a plasma environment

Abstract Plasmas containing small solid-state particles (also known as dust particles) are ubiquitous in nature and laboratories. Existing models typically assume that the dust particles are spherical but several observations and simulations indicate that a significant amount of dust particles are n...
