Phys. Rev. E 63, 017402 (2000) [3 pages]Radiometric force in dusty plasmasReceived 10 June 2000; published 22 December 2000 It is shown that inhomogeneous heating of the dust grain by ion flow in a glow discharge results in a photophoresislike force. According to our estimations, this radiometric force can be comparably-valued with the ion-drag force under the conditions of microgravity dusty plasma experiments. © 2000 The American Physical Society URL:
