Popis: Thermal condensation modes in static partially ionized dense dusty plasmas are investigated by linear mode analysis. A necessary and sufficient onset criterion for a coupled dust-neutral gas condensation mode is found with the help of the Hurwitz theorem. In the long wavelength limit one finds a coupled condensation mode and a new dust mode in the short wavelength limit. The growth rates of the modes are limited by elastic collisions between the different plasma components.
