title: Viscosity of a strongly coupled dust component in a weakly ionized plasma.
abstract: An experimental study of the kinematic viscosity has been carried out for dust particles of size 0.95 and 3.92 μm, in weakly ionized plasma over a wide range of dust coupling parameters. Measurements of viscosity for weakly correlated dusty-plasma systems are presented for the first time. An approximation for the estimation of viscosity constants is proposed. The measured viscosity constants are compared with theoretical estimates and numerical data.
