Electron sticking coefficients of dusty plasma relevant materials — •Franko Greiner, Isabel König, and Armin Mengel — Institute of Experimental and Applied Physics, Kiel University, 24118 Kiel, Germany

A relative measurement approach [1] was employed to determine the low-energy sticking coefficient s of dielectric materials frequently utilized in "dust in plasma" research, including silica, melamine formaldehyde (MF), and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). The new s values offer valuable insights for analyzing experiments involving different materials or their mixtures, facilitating more accurate comparisons and improved experimental design. Additionally, more precise values of s are necessary to enhance the simulation of discharge systems with dielectric electrodes.
