A study on Dusty Plasma Physics and the examination of Jeans Criteria for the Milky Way
Since the early 1990s, there has been significant interest in the physics of dusty plasmas, which has now become a new discipline in plasma science. Dusty plasma exhibits new and unusual behaviour, and provides a possibility for modified or entirely new collective modes of oscillations, instabilities as well as coherent nonlinear structures.\\ First, a review of the important recurring terms -- The Cosmic Waves (CRs), the Alfven Waves (AWs), and the associated charged dust grains is presented. Starting from the basic composition of the CRs to their scattering mechanism, along with the different modes of scattering, is presented, along with the modes of confinement and a precise definition of each term. The paper also includes some useful diagrams and brief notes from the references. \\ Gravitation plays a significant role in the collapse of matter and the formation of cosmological structures. Unlike a static universe, this paper investigates the Jeans instability in a radiation-pressure-dominated expanding universe using the Einstein-de Sitter model for Euclidean geometry with zero curvature ($\kappa=0$). The fluid model for an expanding universe is constructed, and by taking small perturbations, the perturbed fluid equations are obtained. The dispersion relation of gravitational instability is derived using plane-wave solutions. In the static case (Newtonian cosmology), the classical Jeans instability criterion is revisited and modified in an expanding universe. The critical Jeans wave number of perturbations to excite Jeans instability depends upon the time-dependent expansion factor $S(t)$. It is found that short-wavelength perturbations are expected during the inflationary period of big bang cosmology, which are responsible for gravitational collapse and the formation of galaxies.
