Linear and nonlinear excitations in complex plasmas with nonadiabatic dust charge fluctuation and dust size distribution

Both linear and nonlinear excitation in dusty plasmas have been investigated including the nonadiabatic dust charge fluctuation and Gaussian size distribution dust particles. A linear dispersion relation and a Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers equation governing the dust acoustic shock waves are obtained. The relevance of the instability of wave and the wave evolution to the dust size distribution and nonadiabatic dust charge fluctuation is illustrated both analytically and numerically. The numerical results show that the Gaussian size distribution of dust particles and the nonadiabatic dust charge fluctuation have strong common influence on the propagation of both linear and nonlinear excitations.     

Effect of an Arbitrary Dust Size Distribution Dust Particles for Vortex-Like Ion Distribution Dusty Plasma

In order to investigate the effect of an arbitrary dust size distribution for vortex-like ion distribution dusty plasma, we use a reasonable polynomial-expressed function to represent an arbitrary dust size distribution. The numerical results of linear dispersion relation, nonlinear solitary wave amplitude, width and velocity for polynomial expressed dust size distribution dusty plasma with vortex-like ion distribution have been studied.     

Effects of the dust size distribution on shock waves in dusty plasma

By using a Korteweg-deVries-Burgers(KdV-Burgers) equation and considering the dust size distribution, we have studied effects of the dust size distribution on the shock wave in dusty plasma. The dependence of characteristics of the shock wave on different dust size distributions has been given. It is found that the speed and amplitude of a shock wave considering the dust size distribution are larger than that of the dusty plasma with the averaged dust size. However, the width of a shock wave considering the dust size distribution is smaller than that of the dusty plasma with the averaged dust size.     

Effects of dust size distribution in ultracold quantum dusty plasmas

The effect of dust size distribution in ultracold quantum dusty plasmas are investigated in this paper. How the dispersion relation and the propagation velocity for the quantum dusty plasma vary with the system parameters and the different dust distribution are studied. It is found that as the Fermi temperature of the dust grains increases the frequency of the wave increases for large wave number dust acoustic wave. The quantum parameter of H_d also increases the frequency of the large wave number dust acoustic wave. It is also found that the frequency ω₀ and the propagation velocity v₀ of quantum dust acoustic waves all increase as the total number density increases. They are greater for unusual dusty plasmas than those of the usual dusty plasma.

Dispersion of Dust Acoustic Modes and Perturbations of Plasma Flux Balance

Previous considerations of dust acoustic waves is demonstrated to be inconsistent ‐ the required equilibrium state for perturbations was not defined since balance of plasma fluxes was neglecting. The self‐consistent treatment shows that plasma flux perturbations are accompanying any collective waves propagating in dusty plasmas and can play an important role in wave dispersion, wave damping and can create instabilities. This is illustrated by the derivation of dispersion relation for dust acoustic modes taking into account the plasma flux balances and plasma flux perturbations by waves. The result of this approach shows that the dust acoustic waves with linear dependence of wave frequency on the wave number exist only in restricted range of the wave numbers. Only for wave numbers larger than some critical wave number for low frequency modes the frequency can be have approximately a linear dependence on wave number and can be called as dust acoustic wave but the phase velocity of these waves is different from that which can be obtained neglecting the flux balance and depends on grain charge variations which are determined by the balance of fluxes. The presence of plasma fluxes previously neglected is the main typical feature of dusty plasmas. The dispersion relation in the range of small wave numbers is found to be mainly determined by the change of the plasma fluxes and is quite different from that of dust acoustic type, namely it is found to have the same form as the well known dispersion relation for the gravitational instability. This result proves in general way the existence of the collective grain attractions of negatively charged grains for for large distances between them and for any source of ionization. The attraction of grains found from dispersion relation of the dust acoustic branch coincides with that found previously for pair grain interactions using some models for the ionization source. For the existing experiments the effective Jeans length for such attraction is estimated to be about 8 – 10 times larger than the ion Debye length and the effective gravitational constant for the grain attraction is estimated to be several orders of magnitude larger than the usual gravitational constant. The grain attraction at large inter‐grain distances described by the gravitationlike grain instability is considered as the simplest explanation for observed dust cloud clustering, formation of dust structures including the plasma crystals.

Nonlinear propagation of ion plasma waves in dust-ion plasma including quantum-relativistic effect

In this paper we have theoretically investigated the quantum and relativistic effects on ion plasma wave in an unmagnetised dust-ion plasma. By using the method of normal mode analysis, we have obtained a linear dispersion relation. It has been analysed numerically for quantum and relativistic effects on the propagation of ion plasma wave. By using the standard reductive perturbation technique, we have derived a Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation which describes the nonlinear propagation of the wave. Numerically, it is shown that only compressive type of soliton can exist in the plasma under consideration. It is found that the solitary wave profile depends significantly on the quantum and relativistic parameters. The dust size, dust charge and the dust number density are also shown to have significant influences on these solitary waves. The results of this present investigation have some relevance to the nonlinear propagation of ion plasma wave in some astrophysical, space and laboratory plasma environments.     

Effects of dust size distribution on nonlinear waves in a dusty plasma

For two-dimensional unmagnetized dusty plasmas with many different dust grain species, a Kadomtsev--Petviashvili (KP) equation, a modified KP (mKP) equation and a coupled KP(cKP) equation for small, but finite amplitude dust-acoustic solitary waves are obtained for different physical conditions respectively. The influence of an arbitrary dust size distribution described by a polynomial expressed function on the properties of dust-acoustic solitary waves is investigated numerically. How dust size distribution affects the sign and the magnitude of nonlinear coefficient A(D) of KP (mKP) equation is also discussed in detail. It is noted that whether a compressive or a rarefactive solitary wave exists depends on the dust size distribution in some dusty plasmas.

Effect of the number of defect particles on the structure and dispersion relation of a two-dimensional dust lattice system

The effect of the number of defect particles on the structure and dispersion relations of a two-dimensional (2D) dust lattice is studied by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The dust lattice structures are characterized by particle distribution, nearest neighbor configuration and pair correlation function. The current autocorrelation function, the dispersion relation and sound speed are used to represent the wave properties. The wave propagation of the dust lattice closely relates to the lattice structure. It shows that the number of defect particles can affect the dust lattice local structure and then affect the dispersion relations of waves propagating in it. The presence of defect particles has a greater effect on the transverse waves than on the longitudinal waves of the dust lattice. The appropriate number of defect particles can weaken the anisotropy property of the lattice.     

Linear and nonlinear dust lattice waves in plasma crystals

Linear and nonlinear studies of dust lattice waves in a dusty plasma crystal have been carried out on the basis of the Schrödinger equation which is deduced from Poisson's equation for small dust grain potentials. The spatial distribution of the potential in the dust-lattice includes the effect of the whole system of the dust particles. Such a self-consistent analysis gives a dispersion relation for the dust lattice wave, which is different from the expression found earlier. The frequency of the lattice oscillation increases considerably for large grain charges. Furthermore, it is found that an ideal lattice can only exist if the dusty plasma parameters satisfy a definite relationship between the dusty plasma Debye radius, the inter-grain separation, and the grain size. Finally, accounting for the weak nonlinearities, we also derive a Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation for the nonlinear dust lattice waves in the long wavelength approximation (kd≪1), where k is the wave number and d the inter-grain spacing.     

Kadomstev-Petviashvili (KP) equation in warm dusty plasma with variable dust charge,two-temperature ion and nonthermal electron

In this work, the propagation of nonlinear waves in warm dusty plasmas with variable dust charge, two-temperature ion and nonthermal electron is studied. By using the reductive perturbation theory, the Kadomstev-Petviashvili (KP) equation is derived. The energy of the soliton and the linear dispersion relation are obtained. The effects of variable dust charge on the energy of soliton and the angular frequency of linear wave are also discussed.     

Effects of the dust size distribution in one-dimensional quantum dusty plasma

The effects of the dust size distribution in ultracold quantum dusty plasmas are investigated. The amplitude φ_m and width ω of quantum dust acoustic waves are studied with different dust size distributions in the system. The φ_m and ω of the quantum dust acoustic waves are found to increase as the total number density increases. The φ_m and ω are greater for unusual dusty plasmas than for typical dusty plasmas. Moreover, as the Fermi temperature of the dust grains increases, the φ_m of the wave decreases. The ω of quantum dust acoustic waves increases as the speed u₀ of the wave increases.     

Higher order contribution to the propagation characteristics of low frequency transverse waves in a dusty plasma

Characteristic features of low frequency transverse wave propagating in a magnetised dusty plasma have been analysed considering the effect of dust-charge fluctuation. The distinctive behaviours of both the left circularly polarised and right circularly polarised waves have been exhibited through the analysis of linear and non-linear dispersion relations. The phase velocity, group velocity, and group travel time for the waves have been obtained and their propagation characteristics have been shown graphically with the variations of wave frequency, dust density and amplitude of the wave. The change in non-linear wave number shift and Faraday rotation angle have also been exhibited with respect to the plasma parameters. It is observed that the effects of dust particles are significant only when the higher order contributions are considered. This may be referred to as the ‘dust regime’ in plasma.     

Excitation of kinetic Alfvén waves by streaming ions in a dusty magnetoplasma with generalized (r,q) distribution function

We investigate the parallel streaming effects on the dispersion characteristics of a kinetic Alfvén wave (KAW) in a low β dusty magnetoplasma. To analyse the influence of streaming ions obeying generalized (r, q) distribution function, hot and magnetized electrons, and mobile charged dust, a theoretical approach has been used for the instability analysis by employing two potential theories. A linear kinetic dispersion relation of Alfvén waves is derived, whose solutions are used to interpret the numerical and analytical results. The solutions of dispersion relation indicate that the characteristics of KAWs are transformed when generalized (r, q) distribution function is employed instead of its Maxwellian counterpart. We also found that the unstable modes have a strong dependence on spectral indices r and q , dust parameters, and plasma β . For the excitation of KAWs, the streaming velocity has been observed to be within the sub-Alfvén range, whereas when it extends to the super-Alfvén range, the growth rates are significantly suppressed. The observations further show that an ambient magnetic field and superthermal particles inhibit the growth of an electromagnetic wave to a significant degree and have a stabilizing effect on the wave mode, whereas an increasing concentration of low-energy particles contributes to enhancing growth rates.
