Abstract

The effect of an external magnetic field on a critical point for phase transitions in a dusty plasma is investigated. It is shown that the ambient magnetic field increases the effective hard core radius of dust particles, which, in turn, would affect a critical point in terms of the Coulomb coupling parameter and the ratio between the inter-dust grain spacing and the dusty plasma Debye radius. The present result may be useful in understanding the phenomenon of liquid–vapor phase transitions in laboratory dusty plasmas that are held in an external magnetic field.
