Migration Measurement System
A study of the electrostatic migration of lunar dust (SiO2 dust simulation) on a small vacuum simulation platform reveals that when a hollow cathode is used to ionize argon to generate a plasma, the dust undergoes a significant jump migration in the direction of the cathode under the action of a strong electric field The mode of ionization significantly affects the charging and migration behaviors of the dust, which provides experimental basis for the understanding of the dynamics of the lunar dust. The vacuum environment and controlled plasma/electron beam design of the platform make it an effective tool for in-depth study of the electrostatic migration mechanism of lunar dust.
