790:. However, this presents challenges related to dust formation inside the vacuum chamber, causing impurities and affecting performance. Dust particles, ranging from nano- to millimeter size, can be produced due to damage to plasma-facing components (PFCs) caused by high particle and heat fluxes. In fusion devices like ITER, disruptions caused by dust could significantly damage PFCs, and in-vessel dust inventory limits must be met. In some cases, dust (powders) can play a positive role, such as in-situ wall conditioning, suppression of 627:
For the drag force there are two major components of interest, those from positive ions-dust particle interactions, and neutral-dust particle interactions. Ion-dust interactions are further divided into three different interactions, through regular collisions, through Debye sheath modifications, and

When particles of micrometer-size are used, it is possible to observe the individual particles. Their movement is slow enough to be able to be observed with ordinary cameras, and the kinetics of the system can be studied. However, for micrometer-sized particles, gravity is a dominant force that
