  • Abstract
    Scattering in the attractive screened Coulomb (Yukawa) potential is investigated. The momentum-transfer cross section is numerically calculated and analytical approximations are presented. The results are applied to estimate the ion-drag force acting on an isolated micron-sized grain in low-pressure bulk plasmas.
