Abstract

Wave dispersion relations in the strongly coupled liquid phase of a two-dimensional system of dust grains interacting via both Yukawa and dipole interactions are investigated. The model system comprises a layer of charged superparamagnetic grains in a plasma in an external, uniform magnetic field B whose magnitude and direction can be varied. Because the induced magnetic dipole moments of the grains lie along B, the interaction between the grains becomes anisotropic as B is tilted with respect to the layer. The theoretical approach uses a reformulated quasilocalized charge approximation that can treat dipole interactions, combined with molecular dynamics simulations. The mode dispersion relations are found to depend on the relative strengths of the Yukawa and dipole interactions and the direction of wave propagation in the plane.
