Ion‐Acoustic Waves Instability in a Three Components Magneto‐Plasma with Nonthermal Electrons

A theoretical investigation has been made on obliquely propagating ion‐acoustic (IA) solitary structures in a three components magneto‐plasma containing cold inertial ions, Boltzmann distributed positrons, and hot non‐thermal electrons. The Zakharov‐Kuznetsov equation has been derived by the reductive perturbation method, and its solitary wave solution has been analyzed. Multi‐dimensional instability has also studied by the small‐k (long wave‐length plane wave) perturbation expansion technique, which is found to exist in such a plasma. The effects of the external magnetic field, nonthermal electrons, obliqueness and temperature ratio have significantly modified the basic properties of small but finite‐amplitude IA solitary waves, such as amplitude, width, instability criterion and the growth rate. The present investigation contributes to the physics of the nonlinear IA waves in space and laboratory electron‐positron‐ion magneto‐plasmas in which wave damping produces an electron tail.

Dust ion‐acoustic solitons with trapped q‐non‐extensive electrons,dissipative processes,and streaming ions

The characteristics of dust ion‐acoustic waves (DIAWs) that are excited because of streaming ions and hot q‐non‐extensive electrons obeying a vortex‐like distribution are investigated. By exploiting a pseudo‐potential technique, we have derived an energy integral equation. The presence of non‐extensive q‐distributed hot trapped electrons and a streaming ion beam has been shown to influence soliton structure quite significantly. The evolution of the soliton‐like perturbations in complex plasmas, taking into account the dissipation processes, are also investigated, obtained by numerically solving the modified Schamel, equation whose widths are dependant on electron trapping efficiency β. Our illustrations indicate that compressive DIAWs develop in this plasma. As the plasmas in reality have a relative flow, such an analysis can be used to understand the DIA solitary structures observed in the mesospheric noctilucent clouds.     

Dust‐acoustic envelope solitons in super‐thermal plasmas

The modulational instability (MI) of the dust‐acoustic waves (DAWs) in an electron‐positron‐ion‐dust plasma (containing super‐thermal electrons, positrons, and ions along with negatively charged adiabatic dust grains) is investigated by the analysis of the non‐linear Schrödinger equation (NLSE). To derive the NLSE, the reductive perturbation method was employed. Two different parametric regions for stable and unstable DAWs are observed. The presence of super‐thermal electrons, positrons, and ions significantly modifies both the stable and unstable regions. The critical wave number k_c (at which MI sets in) depends on the super‐thermal electron, positron, and ion, and adiabatic dust concentrations.     

Dissipative ion acoustic solitary waves in collisional,magneto‐rotating,non‐thermal electron–positron–ion plasma

The linear and non‐linear dynamics of ion acoustic waves are investigated in three‐component magnetized plasma consisting of cold inertial ions and non‐thermal electrons and positrons. The non‐thermal components are modelled by the hybrid distribution, representing the combination of two (kappa and Cairn's) non‐thermal distributions. The relevant processes, including the slow rotation of plasma along the magnetic field axis and collision between ions and neutrals, are taken into consideration. It is shown that the non‐linear dynamics of the considered system are governed by the Zakharov–Kuznetsov equation in modified form. In the general dissipation regime, the effects of the two non‐thermal distributions on the solitary waves are compared. The effects of other plasma parameters, such as collisional and rotational frequency, are also discussed in detail.     

Dust ion-acoustic solitary waves in a hot adiabatic magnetized dusty plasma

The basic features of obliquely propagating dust ion-acoustic (DIA) solitary waves in a hot adiabatic magnetized dusty plasma (containing adiabatic inertia-less electrons, adiabatic inertial ions, and negatively charged static dust) have been investigated. The reductive perturbation method has been employed to derive the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation which admits a small amplitude solitary wave solution. The combined effects of plasma particle (electron and ion) adiabaticity, ion-dust collision, and external magnetic field (obliqueness), which are found to significantly modify the basic features of the small but finite-amplitude DIA solitary waves are explicitly examined. The implications of our results in space and laboratory dusty plasmas are briefly discussed.     

The (3+1)‐dimensional dust‐acoustic waves in multi‐components magneto‐plasmas

A three‐dimensional four components magneto‐plasma system consists of super‐thermal κ‐distributed electrons and positrons, Maxwellian ions, and inertial massive negatively charged dust grains is considered to examine the modulational instability (MI) of the dust‐acoustic waves (DAWs), which propagates in such a magneto‐plasma system. The reductive perturbation method, which is valid for small but finite amplitude DAWs, is employed to derive the (3 + 1)‐dimensional non‐linear Schrödinger equation (NLSE). The NLSE leads to the MI of DAWs as well as the formation of dust‐acoustic rogue waves (DARWs) which are formed due to the effects of non‐linearity in the propagation of the DAWs. It is found that the basic features (viz. amplitude and width) of the DAWs and DARWs (which is formed in the unstable region) are significantly modified by the various plasma parameters such as κ‐distributed electrons and positrons, temperatures, and number densities of plasma species, and so on. The application of the results in both space and laboratory magneto‐plasma systems is briefly discussed.

Nonlinear ion-acoustic waves in magnetized plasmas in presence of energetic electrons and positively charged dust

A theoretical investigation has been carried out for exploring different features of ion-acoustic solitary and shock waves in a three-component magnetized plasma containing a mixture of thermal and nonthermal (energetic) inertialess electrons, warm inertial ions, and positively charged stationary dust particles. The standard Korteweg-de Vries (Burgers) equation has been derived by employing the reductive perturbation method, and its solitary (shock) wave solution has been derived and examined analytically as well as numerically. The latter exhibits characteristic properties (amplitude, width, speed, and polarity) of the ion-acoustic solitary and shock waves. It has been shown that the ion-acoustic solitary and shock waves are significantly modified by different plasma parameters (viz. parameter measuring the ratio of dust charge density to ion charge density, parameter measuring the fraction of energetic electrons, parameter measuring ion or electron temperature, and the external magnetic field). The present investigation may help in understanding the physics of various nonlinear phenomena formed in many space plasma systems, (viz. earth's mesosphere, solar wind, and cometary tails) and laboratory devices (laboratory experiments of Samarian et al., Phys. rev. E. 64 , 056407 [2001] and of Fortov et al., New J. Physics 5 , 102 [2003]).     

Dissipative ion‐acoustic waves in collisional electron‐positron‐ion plasmas with Kappa distribution

In this work, linear and non‐linear structures of ion‐acoustic waves (IAWs) are investigated in a collisional plasma consisting of warm ions, superthermal electrons, and positrons. A dissipative effect is assumed due to ion‐neutral collisions. The linear properties of IAWs are investigated. It is shown that the dynamics of the IAWs is governed by the damped Korteweg‐de Vries (K‐dV) equation. It is seen that the ion‐neutral collisions modify the basic features of ion‐acoustic solitary waves significantly. Also, the effect of the plasma parameters on the dissipative IAWs is discussed in detail.     

Theoretical analysis of planar and non‐planar electron ‐ acoustic shock waves in electron‐positron‐ion plasma

The propagation properties of planar and non‐planar electron acoustic shock waves composed of stationary ions, cold electrons, and q‐non‐extensive hot electrons and positrons are studied in unmagnetized electron‐positron‐ion plasma. In this model, the Korteweg‐de Vries Burgers equation is obtained in the planar and non‐planar coordinates. We have investigated the combined action of the dissipation, non‐extensivity, density ratio of hot to cold electrons, concentration of positrons, and temperature difference of cold electrons, hot electrons, and positrons. It was found that the amplitude of shock wave in e‐p‐i plasma increases when the positron concentration and temperature increase. The same effect is observed in the case of kinematic viscosity η. Furthermore, it is noticed that spherical wave moves faster in comparison to the shock waves in cylindrical geometry. This difference arises due to the presence of the geometry term m/2τ. It should be noted that the contribution of the geometry factor comes through the continuity equation. Results of our work may be helpful to illustrate the different properties of shock wave features in different astrophysical and space environments like supernova, polar regions, and in the vicinity of black holes.     

K-P-Burgers equation in negative ion-rich relativistic dusty plasma including the effect of kinematic viscosity

The stationary solution is obtained for the K–P–Burgers equation that describes the nonlinear propagations of dust ion acoustic waves in a multi-component, collisionless, un-magnetized relativistic dusty plasma consisting of electrons, positive and negative ions in the presence of charged massive dust grains. Here, the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili(K–P) equation, threedimensional(3D) Burgers equation, and K–P–Burgers equations are derived by using the reductive perturbation method including the effects of viscosity of plasma fluid, thermal energy, ion density, and ion temperature on the structure of a dust ion acoustic shock wave(DIASW). The K–P equation predictes the existences of stationary small amplitude solitary wave,whereas the K–P–Burgers equation in the weakly relativistic regime describes the evolution of shock-like structures in such a multi-ion dusty plasma.     

Ion‐ and positron‐acoustic solitons in magnetized dusty plasma with q‐non‐extensive electron and positron velocity distribution

In this study, the properties of ion‐ and positron‐acoustic solitons are investigated in a magnetized multi‐component plasma system consisting of warm fluid ions, warm fluid positrons, q‐non‐extensive distributed positrons, q‐non‐extensive distributed electrons, and immobile dust particles. To drive the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation, the reductive perturbation method is used. The effects of the ratio of the density of positrons to ions, the temperature of the positrons, and ions to electrons, the non‐extensivity parameters q_e and q_p , and the angle of the propagation of the wave with the magnetic field on the potential of ion‐ and positron‐acoustic solitons are also studied. The present investigation is applicable to solitons in fusion plasmas in the edge of tokamak.     

Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (KP) Burgers Equation in Dusty Negative Ion Plasmas: Evolution of Dust-Ion Acoustic Shocks

We study the nonlinear propagation of dust-ion acoustic (DIA) shock waves in an un-magnetized dusty plasma which consists of electrons, both positive and negative ions and negatively charged immobile dust grains. Starting from a set of hydrodynamic equations with the ion thermal pressures and ion kinematic viscosities included, and using a standard reductive perturbation method, the Kadomtsev-Petviashivili-Burgers (K-P-Burgers) equation is derived, which governs the evolution of DIA shocks. A stationary solution of the K-P-Burgers equation is obtained and its properties are analysed with different plasma number densities, ion temperatures and masses. It is shown that a transition from shocks with negative potential to positive one occurs depending on the negative ion concentration in the plasma and the obliqueness of propagation of DIA waves.     

Effect of viscosity on dust–ion acoustic shock wave in dusty plasma with negative ions

The properties of dust–ion acoustic (DIA) shock wave in a dusty plasma containing positive and negative ions is investigated. The reductive perturbation method has been used to derive the Korteweg–de Vries–Burgers equation for dust acoustic shock waves in a homogeneous, unmagnetized and collisionless plasma whose constituents are Boltzmann distributed electrons, singly charged positive ions, singly charged negative ions and cold static dust particles. The KdV–Burgers equation is derived and its stationary analytical solution is numerically analyzed where the effect of viscosity on the DIA shock wave propagation is taken into account. It is found that the viscosity in the dusty plasma plays as a key role in dissipation for the propagation of DIA shock.     

Dust acoustic wave in a dusty plasmas with streaming ions and nonadiabatic dust charge variation

The effects of nonadiabatic dust charge fluctuation on the nonlinear propagation of the dust acoustic (DA) solitary wave in collisionless dusty plasma with streaming ions have been investigated. By using the reductive perturbation technique, a modified Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) equation governing the nonlinear waves was derived and the solitary solution of the mKdV equation was also obtained. It was shown that the damping rate of the slow mode DA solitary wave was strongly affected by the ion streaming velocity.     

Nonplanar Shocks and Solitons in a Strongly Coupled Adiabatic Plasma: the Roles of Heavy Ion Dynamics and Nonextensitivity

An investigation has been made on heavy ion‐acoustic (HIA) nonplanar shocks and solitons in an unmagnetized, collisionless, strongly coupled plasma whose constituents are strongly correlated adiabatic inertial heavy ions, weakly correlated nonextensive distributed electrons and Maxwellian light ions. By using appropriate nonlinear equations for our strongly coupled plasma system and the well‐known reductive perturbation technique, a modified Burgers (mB) equation and a modified Korteweg‐de Vries (mK‐dV) equation have been derived. They are also numerically solved in order to investigate the basic features (viz. polarity, amplitude, width, etc.) of cylindrical and spherical shock/solitary waves in such a strongly coupled plasma system. The roles of heavy ion dynamics, nonextensivity of electrons, and other plasma parameters arised in this investigation have significantly modified the basic features of the cylindrical and spherical HIA solitary and shock waves. The findings of our results obtained from this theoretical investigation may be useful in understanding the nonlinear phenomena associated with the cylindrical and spherical HIA waves both in space and laboratory plasmas.

Solitons of KdV and modified KdV in dusty plasmas with superthermal ions

For a dusty plasma with a negatively charged dust fluid with Boltzmann distributed electrons and superthermal ions, the dust acoustic solitary waves have been studied in this paper. We derived a Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation and a modified KdV equation for different cases. It was shown that the superthermal distributed ion have very important effect on the characters of dust acoustic solitary waves.     

Effects of adiabaticity of electrons and ions on dust-ion-acoustic solitary waves

The nonlinear propagation of dust-ion-acoustic (DIA) waves in an adiabatic dusty plasma (containing adiabatic inertial-less electrons, adiabatic inertial ions, and negatively charged static dust) is investigated by the pseudo-potential approach. The combined effects of adiabatic electrons and negatively charged static dust on the basic properties (critical Mach number, amplitude, and width) of small as well as arbitrary amplitude DIA solitary waves are explicitly examined. It is found that the combined effects of adiabatic electrons and negatively charged static dust significantly modify the basic properties (critical Mach number, amplitude, and width) of the DIA solitary waves. It is also found that due to the effect of adiabaticity of electrons, negative DIA solitary waves [which are found to exist in a dusty plasma (containing isothermal electrons, cold ions, and negatively charged static dust) for α=zdnd0/ni0>2/3, where zd is the number of electrons residing onto a dust grain surface, nd0 is the constant (static) dust number density and ni0 is the equilibrium ion number density] disappears, i.e. due to the effect of adiabatic electrons, one cannot have negative DIA solitary waves for any possible set of dusty plasma parameters [0?α<1 and 0?σ=Ti0/Te0?1, where Ti0 (Te0) is electron (ion) temperature at equilibrium].     

Effect of Anisotropic Ion Pressure on Solitary Waves in Magnetized Dusty Plasmas

The propagation of linear and nonlinear dust ion acoustic waves (DIAWs) are studied in a collisionless magnetized plasma which consists of warm ions having anisotropic thermal pressure, nonthermal (energetic) electrons and static dust particles of positive and negative charge polarity. The anisotropic ion pressure is defined using double adiabatic Chew‐Golberger‐Low (CGL) theory. In the linear regime, the propagation properties of the two possible modes are investigated via ion pressure anisotropy, dust particle polarity and nonthermality of electrons. Using reductive method Zakharov‐Kuznetsov (ZK) equation is derived for the propagation of two dimensional electrostatic dust ion acoustic solitary waves in dusty plasmas. It is found that both compressive and rarefactive solitons are formed in presence of nonthermal electrons using Cairn's distribution [R.A. Cairns, A.A. Mamun, R. Bingham, R.O. Dendy, R. Bostrom, C.M.C. Nairn and P.K. Shukla, Geophys.Res. Lett. 22 , 2709 (1995)] in the system. The ion pressure anisotropy, nonthermality of electrons and charge polarity of the dust particles have significant effects on the amplitude and width of the dust ion acoustic solitary waves in such anisotropic nonthermal magnetized dusty plasmas. The numerical results are also presented for illustration. Our finding is applicable to space dusty plasma regimes having anisotropic ion pressure and nonthermal electrons.
