摘要
An experimental investigation of the effect of negatively charged dust on ion acoustic shock formation in a Q machine is described. Ion acoustic compressional pulses were observed to steepen as they traveled through a dusty plasma if the percentage of the negative charge in the plasma on the dust grains was greater than or similar to 75%.
