Standard theory predicts that the damping of interstellar grain rotation, and hence the dealignment of the grains, in neutral gas should be dominated by gas-grain collisions. I will present evidence that, in addition to the collisional damping, X-ray induced "plasma damping" (Draine and Lazarian 1998) plays a non-negliable part in the grain rotation dynamics.
