Weakly Relativistic Plasma

The effect on the propagation of ion-acoustic solitons and double layers has been studied in collisionless weakly relativistic plasma consisting of two-electron temperature with isothermal electrons and finite ion temperature. The Korteweg de-Vries (KdV) equation is derived for ion-acoustic solitons propagating in a collisionless plasma. This equation is solved in a stationary frame to obtain the expression for soliton phase velocity, soliton width and peak soliton amplitude. It is observed that these quantities are significantly influenced by the relativistic effect, ion temperature, low-temperature electron density and ratio of cold to hot electron temperatures. Many features expected from hot ion theory and two species electron plasmas automatically emerge. The analysis is further extended to higher order nonlinearity and modified Korteweg de-Vries (mKdV) equation is derived. Even though compressive and rarefactive ion-acoustic solitons are obtained, only rarefactive ion-acoustic double layers are obtained in the present investigation.

Ion Acoustic Soliton

A theoretical investigation was made for the ion acoustic wave in a weakly relativistic magnetized electron-positron-ion warm plasma. A Korteweg-de vries equation (KdV) is derived by using a standard reductive perturbation method. It is found that the presence of ion temperature (σ), ratios of positron-to-electron density (β), electron-to-positron temperature (α), and relativistic factor (Ur) significantly modify solitonic behavior. The authors observed that these parameters considerably change the amplitude and width of the solitary wave.

Ion Acoustic Soliton

A recently described numerical theory for obtaining the Sagdeev and real potential profiles of stationary wave forms in a plasma consisting of double-Maxwellian electrons and two or more species of warm ions is used for the study of solitons in such a plasma. The effects of ion temperature and light-ion concentration on rarefactive ion-acoustic soliton profiles in a double-ion plasma obtained with this large-amplitude theory are compared with those predicted from a Korteweg–de Vries equation. Application of the theory to the work of Nakamura and co-workers is discussed, and we draw attention to ion thermal effects.

The effect of the ion temperature on ion acoustic solitary waves in a collisionless relativistic plasma is discussed using the Korteweg–de Vries equation. The phase velocity of the ion acoustic waves decreases as the relativistic effect increases, and increases as the ion temperature increases. Only a compressional soliton of the ion acoustic wave is formed in this system. Since its amplitude increases for the lower ion temperature as the relativistic effect increases, we deduce the formation of a precursor by the presence of the streaming ions. In contrast, for the higher ion temperature, the amplitude decreases slowly. Furthermore, it is shown that the oscillatory solution of the Korteweg–de Vries equation smoothly links with the nonlinear Schrödinger equation in a relativistic plasma.

Using the reductive perturbation technique, a cylindrical and (or) spherical Korteweg – de Vries (KdV) equation is derived for a dust-ion acoustic solitary wave (DIASW) in an unmagnetized dusty plasma, whose constituents are adiabatic ion fluid, nonextensive electrons, and negatively charged static dust particles. The solution of the modified KdV equation in nonplanar geometry is numerically analyzed. The change of the DIASW structure due to the effect of the geometry, nonextensive parameter, dust density, and ion temperature is investigated by numerical calculation of the cylindrical and (or) spherical KdV equation. It is found that both compressive and rarefactive type DIA waves are obtained depending on the plasma parameter.
