It demonstrates that also smaller MSPs, i.e. with radii in sub-nanometer size range can be effectively charged and, thereby significantly influence plasma properties. Parameters of a charged MSP size distribution function were derived. The modelling results show that largest fraction of the charged MSPs reveal radii smaller than 1 nm and their density can exceed the density of electrons by up to an order of magnitude. %L 530 %9 theses %9 Text %9 Hochschulschrift %R 10.18453/rosdok_id00002337 %U http://purl.uni-rostock.de/rosdok/id00002337 %U https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:gbv:28-diss2018-0165-4 %U https://d-nb.info/1293654051/34 %U https://doi.org/10.18453/rosdok_id00002337
