Abstract
Void formation in one- and two-dimensional complex (dusty) radio-frequency plasmas has been studied using spherical and cylindrically shaped particles. Threshold values for void formation have been determined for plasma power, pressure and number of particles. A comparison between an electropositive argon and an electronegative oxygen plasma shows that void formation in electronegative plasmas is hindered, due to a better radial confinement of the particle cloud. No significant dependence on the particle shape (spherical versus cylindrical) has been observed. Comparing one- and two- dimensional structures shows that collective particle behaviour is not responsible for the void formation, but possibly does contribute to the cloud confinement.
