Cylindrical ion-acoustic solitons are investigated in a warm plasma with negative ions and multiple-temperature electrons through the derivation of a cylindrical Korteweg–de Vries equation using a reductive perturbation theory. The results are compared with those for the corresponding planar solitons.

Experimental Findings

The resonant interaction of compressive and rarefactive ion acoustic solitons is studied experimentally in a multicomponent plasma containing additional negative-ion species. With increasing concentration of negative ions, the resonance amplitude increases for compressive ion acoustic solitons when the angle of collision is fixed. When the negative-ion concentration is larger than a critical value, the rarefactive ion acoustic solitons undergo resonant interaction for a lower resonance amplitude. Theoretical predictions of the Korteweg–de Vries equation agree with experimental findings.

Ion Acoustic Solitons

It is well known that multicomponent plasma with negative ions supports a number of wave modes such as ion-acoustic solitons described by the Kortewege-de Vries (KdV) equation, modified KdV solitons at critical density of negative ions and ion-acoustic envelop solitons described by nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE). The NLSE which is equivalent to the mKdV equation is applicable in describing evolution of ion-acoustic wave in plasma at critical density of negative ions which becomes modulationaly unstable when the nonlinear co-efficient is negative.

Ion-acoustic solitons in a plasma with different adiabatic ion constituents and isothermal electrons are studied via a reductive perturbation method. The basic fluid equations then give rise to KdV or modified KdV equations, depending upon the relative ion densities. At critical densities, rarefactive and compressive fast ion-acoustic solitons are possible. Explicit stationary solutions are discussed in the special case of cold ions, in a plasma containing two species of negative ions and one of positive ions. The inclusion of heavier ions, even at low densities, increases the amplitudes of the critical solitons.

Spatial Damping

The effect of enhanced Landau damping on the evolution of ion acoustic Peregrine soliton in multicomponent plasma with negative ions has been investigated. The experiment is performed in a multidipole double plasma device. To enhance the ion Landau damping, the temperature of the ions is increased by applying a continuous sinusoidal signal of frequency close to the ion plasma frequency ∼1 MHz to the separation grid. The spatial damping rate of the ion acoustic wave is measured by interferometry. The damping rate of ion acoustic wave increases with the increase in voltage of the applied signal. At a higher damping rate, the Peregrine soliton ceases to show its characteristics leaving behind a continuous envelope.

Structural Instabilities

Sheath potential distributions in electrostatic plasmas including negative ions have been studied using the Bohm equation. Since the mean velocity of the negative ions is not necessarily negligible compared with their thermal velocity, the contribution from non-thermal negative ions has been considered. The Sagdeev potential has been introduced to consider structural instabilities of the Bohm system. Wavy solutions related to ion-acoustic solitons bifurcate from the monotone asymptotic Bohm sheath solutions. The solvability conditions have also been discussed for characteristic parameter such as the concentration of negative ions and the Mach numbers of positive and negative ions.

AbstractIon-acoustic solitons in magnetized low-β plasma consisting of warm adiabatic positive and negative ions and non-thermal electrons have been studied. The reductive perturbation method is used to derive the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation for the system, which admits an obliquely propagating soliton solution. It is found that due to the presence of finite ion temperature there exist two modes of propagation, namely fast and slow ion-acoustic modes. In the case of slow-mode if the ratio of temperature to mass of positive ion species is lower (higher) than the negative ion species, then there exist compressive (rarefactive) ion-acoustic solitons. It is also found that in the case of slow mode, on increasing the non-thermal parameter (γ) the amplitude of the compressive (rarefactive) soliton decreases (increases). In fast ion-acoustic mode the nature and characteristics of solitons depend on negative ion concentration. Numerical investigation in case of fast mode reveals that on increasing γ, the amplitude of compressive (rarefactive) soliton increases (decreases). The width of solitons increases with an increase in non-thermal parameters in both the modes for compressive as well as rarefactive solitons. There exists a value of critical negative ion concentration (αc), at which both compressive and rarefactive ion-acoustic solitons appear as described by modified KdV soliton. The value of αc decreases with increase in γ.
