Recent microgravity experiments with complex direct current plasmas.

Complex plasmas are low‐temperature plasmas containing micrometer‐sized particles. They are useful as models for strongly coupled many‐body systems. Since the microparticles are strongly affected by gravity, microgravity experiments with complex plasmas are conducted. Here we report on recent microgravity experiments with the experimental facility PK‐4 performed in parabolic flights. In particular, we discuss electrorheological and demixing experiments and the image analysis tools used. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
