摘要
The PK-4 experiment is a continuation of the successful dusty plasma experiments PK-1, PK-2 and PK-3 conducted on board of the orbital space stations Mir and IS S (International Space Station). The aim of the PK-4 experiment is an investigation of physical processes in complex (dusty) plasmas under microgravity conditions in a combined dc/rf discharge plasma.
