Notes:
A number of different types of obliquely propagating dust-associated electrostatic drift-like waves, namely, the Shukla–Varma mode, the lower-hybrid mode, coupled electron–drift–dust–ion–acoustic waves, coupled ion–drift–dust–electron–acoustic waves, coupled dust–drift–dust–acoustic waves, and coupled dust–drift–dust–cyclotron waves, in a nonuniform bounded dusty magnetoplasma are theoretically investigated. The last two are studied by considering the dynamics of the negatively charged dust grains, whereas the other ones are studied by considering the presence of the static dust grains. The dispersion properties of these drift-like waves, which are found to be significantly modified by the combined effects of plasma density inhomogeneity, finite boundary of the dusty plasma, obliqueness of the propagating mode, and external magnetic field, are examined. The relevance of this investigation to low-temperature laboratory dusty magnetoplasmas is discussed. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.
