- Plasmakristall‐4 Experiment: 10 Years of Operation in Orbit M. Pustylnik H. M. Thomas M. Kretschmer M. Thoma Contributions to Plasma Physics ABSTRACT Plasmakristall‐4 (PK‐4) is a microgravity complex plasma laboratory operated for 10 years on board the International Space Station. Its main purpose is the particle‐resolved investigation of generic condensed matter phenomena using strongly coupled suspensions of microparticles immersed in low‐pressure gas‐discharge plasmas. In PK‐4, both structural (string‐like order) and transport (shear viscosity and heat diffusivity) properties of the microparticle suspensions were investigated. At the same time, the (polarity‐switched) dc discharge in which microparticle suspensions are trapped in PK‐4 exhibits a number of dust‐induced plasma phenomena. In this review article, both types of phenomena as well as connections between them are discussed. The physics encountered in the PK‐4 experiments is therefore reviewed in its entire complexity. 10.1002/ctpp.70063 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
