Charge of clustered microparticles measured in spatial plasma afterglows follows the smallest enclosing sphere model

Here the authors report measurements of the charge ratio and mass of two-particle clusters and single microparticles in the spatial plasma afterglow. The insights contribute to the general understanding of non-spherical particle charging in ionized gasses.
