Abstract

We derive the dielectric tensor for multicomponent magnetized dusty plasmas, including the effect of capture of plasma electrons and ions by the dust particles. For propagation perpendicular to the external magnetic field and Maxwellian distributions of electrons and ions, we obtain compact expressions for the components of the dielectric tensor, which can be used to analyse wave propagation. An application to the magnetosonic wave is presented.
