1.2 Dusty plasma parameters

There are two basic dimensionless parameters which are used for the analysis of transport coefficients in 2D and 3D dusty plasma systems, and which are responsible for mass transfer and phase state in nonideal dissipative systems [4–6]. These dimensionless parameters are known as effective Coulomb coupling (Г\* ) parameter and scaling parameter (ξ). These parameters (Г\* , ξ) are responsible for transport and structural processes for nonideal systems [5]. Screening parameter (к) is the third one which is the important for the classification of dusty plasmas. Here, we

discuss only two parameters, Coulomb coupling (Г) and the Debye screening strength (к).
