Electrostatic breakup in a misty plasma.
A misty plasma is defined as a plasma containing small liquid droplets. In such a system, the droplets will undergo total electrostatic breakup if their charge exceeds the well-known Rayleigh limit. This imposes a minimum size on the droplets. Electrostatic breakup is a significant mechanism limiting droplet survival in a wide range of plasma applications, including plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition and fusion tokamaks.
