Abstract

Cyclic transport of dust 1 particles (dust hour glass) in a capacitively coupled radio frequency discharge with horizontal electrodes is demonstrated. Dust transport toward the upper electrode is initiated by varying the electrical asymmetry of the discharge. A shaped upper electrode guides dust particles to move toward the center of the discharge. Subsequently, the dust drops through the plasma bulk spontaneously, this way returning to the starting location.
