A Pair of Coupled Equations for High Frequency Langmuir Wave and Low Frequency Potential

A coupled pair of nonlinear equations for the amplitude modulated Langmuir wave and the associated low frequency electric potential wave have been derived by relaxing quasineutrality condition of the frequency motion. Solitary wave solutions exist. It is found that the small correction term due to ion pressure changes the amplitude of the solitary wave.     

Trapping of plasmons in ion holes

We present analytical and numerical studies of a new electron plasma wave interaction mechanism, which reveals trapping of Langmuir waves in ion holes associated with nonisothermal ion distribution functions. This Langmuir ion hole interaction is a unique kinetic phenomenon governed by two second nonlinear differential equations in which the Langmuir wave electric field and ion hole potential are coupled in a complex fashion. Numerical analyses of our nonlinearly coupled differential equations exhibit trapping of localized Langmuir wave envelops in the ion hole, which is either standing or moving with sub-or super ion thermal speed. The resulting ambipolar potential of the ion hole is essentially negative, giving rise to bipolar slow electric fields. The present investigation thus offers a new Langmuir wave contraction scenario that has not been rigorously explored in plasma physics.     

The Nonlinear Langmuir Waves in a Multi-ion-Component Plasma

We investigated the nonlinear Langmuir waves in a multi-ion-component low-temperature plasma. Beginning with the fluid theory of plasma, and taking fully nonlinear response of the low-frequency ion motion into account, we derived a set of equations governing the nonlinear coupling of the amplitude of the Langmuir wave and the low-frequency perturbation density. Using the Sagdeev potential method, we analyzed the characteristics of solitary wave. In the limit of small amplitude, the envelope soliton was found. Our investigation demonstrates that the properties of soliton in a multi-ion-component plasma are different from those of soliton in an electron-ion plasma.     

Propagation dynamics of relativistic electromagnetic solitary wave as well as modulational instability in plasmas

By one-dimensional particle-in-cell(PIC) simulations, the propagation and stability of relativistic electromagnetic(EM) solitary waves as well as modulational instability of plane EM waves are studied in uniform cold electron-ion plasmas.The investigation not only confirms the solitary wave motion characteristics and modulational instability theory, but more importantly, gives the following findings. For a simulation with the plasma density 10²³ m^-3 and the dimensionless vector potential amplitude 0.18, it is found that the EM solitary wave can stably propagate when the carrier wave frequency is smaller than 3.83 times of the plasma frequency. While for the carrier wave frequency larger than that, it can excite a very weak Langmuir oscillation, which is an order of magnitude smaller than the transverse electron momentum and may in turn modulate the EM solitary wave and cause the modulational instability, so that the solitary wave begins to deform after a long enough distance propagation. The stable propagation distance before an obvious observation of instability increases(decreases) with the increase of the carrier wave frequency(vector potential amplitude). The study on the plane EM wave shows that a modulational instability may occur and its wavenumber is approximately equal to the modulational wavenumber by Langmuir oscillation and is independent of the carrier wave frequency and the vector potential amplitude.This reveals the role of the Langmuir oscillation excitation in the inducement of modulational instability and also proves the modulational instability of EM solitary wave.     

Low frequency electrostatic nonlinear structures in an inhomogeneous magnetized non-Maxwellian electron–positron–ion plasma

The properties of low frequency (coupled acoustic and drift wave) nonlinear structures including solitary waves and double layers in an inhomogeneous magnetized electron–positron–ion (EPI) nonthermal plasma with density and temperature inhomogeneities are studied in a simplified way. The nonlinear differential equation derived here for the study of double layers in the inhomogeneous EPI plasma resembles with the modified KdV equation in the stationary frame. But the method used for the derivation of nonlinear differential equation is simple and consistent to give both the stationary solitary waves and double layers. Further, the illustrations show that superthermality κ, drift velocity and temperature inhomogeneity have significant effects on the amplitude, width, and existence range of the structures.     

Improved Speed and Shape of Ion-Acoustic Waves in a Warm Plasma

The basic set of fluid equations can be reduced to the nonlinear Kortewege-de Vries (KdV) and nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equations. The rational solutions for the two equations has been obtained. The exact amplitude of the nonlinear ion-acoustic solitary wave can be obtained directly without resorting to any successive approximation techniques by a direct analysis of the given field equations. The Sagdeev's potential is obtained in terms of ion acoustic velocity by simply solving an algebraic equation. The soliton and double layer solutions are obtained as a small amplitude approximation. A comparison between the exact soliton solution and that obtained from the reductive perturbation theory are also discussed.     

Theory of cavitons in complex plasmas

Nonlinear coupling between Langmuir waves with finite amplitude dispersive dust acoustic perturbations is considered. It is shown that the interaction is governed by a pair of coupled nonlinear differential equations. Numerical results reveal the formation of Langmuir envelope solitons composed of the dust density depression created by the ponderomotive force of bell-shaped Langmuir wave envelops. The associated ambipolar potential is positive. The present nonlinear theory should be able to account for the trapping of large amplitude Langmuir waves in finite amplitude dust density holes. This scenario may appear in Saturn's dense rings, and the Cassini spacecraft should be able to observe fully nonlinear cavitons, as presented herein. Furthermore, we propose that new electron-beam plasma experiments should be conducted to verify our theoretical prediction.     

Localized plasmons in quantum plasmas

We consider the nonlinear interactions between finite amplitude electron and ion plasma oscillations in a fermionic quantum plasma. Accounting for the quantum statistical electron pressure and the quantum Bohm potential, we derive a set of coupled nonlinear equations that govern the dynamics of modulated electron plasma oscillations (EPOs) in the presence of the nonlinear ion oscillations (NLIOs). We numerically study stationary solutions of our coupled nonlinear equations. We find that the quantum parameter H (equal to the ratio between the plasmonic and electron Fermi energy densities) introduces new features to the electron density and electric potential humps of localized NLIOs in the absence of EPOs. Furthermore, the nonlinear coupling between the EPOs and NLIOs gives rise to a new class of envelope solitons composed of bell shaped electric field envelope of the EPOs, which are trapped in the electron density hole (and an associated negative oscillatory electric potential) that is produced by the ponderomotive force of the EPOs. The knowledge of the localized plasmonic structures is of immense value for interpreting experimental observations in dense quantum plasmas.     

Formation and dynamics of relativistic electromagnetic solitons in plasmas containing high-and low-energy electron components

We present theoretical and numerical studies of the nonlinear interactions between intense electromagnetic waves in plasmas containing high-and low-energy electron components. Such plasmas are frequently observed in laser-plasma experiments, where the hot electron component is created by the acceleration of electrons by strong electrostatic waves that are created by the laser-induced Raman forward and backward instabilities. The two-component electron plasma is described by the Vlasov equation for the hot electrons and the hydrodynamic equations for the cold electrons, which are coupled nonlinearly to the electromagnetic wave equation and the Poisson equation for the potential. The present nonlinear system is shown to admit electromagnetic solitary waves correlated with a positive potential and trapped electron islands from the hot electron population.
