X-ray- and EUV- (XEUV-) driven photoevaporative winds acting on protoplanetary disks around young T-Tauri stars may crucially impact disk evolution, affecting both gas and dust distributions. We investigate the dust entrainment in XEUV-driven photoevaporative winds and compare our results to existing MHD and EUV-only models. For an X-ray luminosity of $L_X = 2 \cdot 10^{30}\,\mathrm{erg/s}$ emitted by a $M_* = 0.7\,\mathrm{M}_\odot$ star, corresponding to a wind mass-loss rate of $\dot{M}_… Expand
