Abstract

The dielectric tensor for a multicomponent magnetized dusty plasma, including the effect of capture of plasma electrons and ions by the dust particles, is rewritten in order to provide expressions more suitable for applications. We use this tensor to study the spatial absorption of a magnetosonic wave, including effects up to second order in the Larmor radius. We analyse the absorption of the wave due to the presence of dust particles with variable charge and the modification of this absorption due to finite-Larmor-radius effects.
