The conditions for the existence of an ion-acoustic double layer in a plasma with warm ions and two distinct groups of hot electrons have been studied using the Sagdeev potential method. A comparison is made with the published results of Bharuthram and Shukla for cold ions and a two-temperature electron population. Numerical studies have been made to find out the effect of a finite ion temperature on the Mach number of the double layers.

The supercritical composition of a plasma model with cold positive ions in the presence of a two-temperature electron population is investigated, initially by a reductive perturbation approach, under the combined requirements that there be neither quadratic nor cubic nonlinearities in the evolution equation. This leads to a unique choice for the set of compositional parameters and a modified Korteweg–de Vries equation (mKdV) with a quartic nonlinear term. The conclusions about its one-soliton solution and integrability will also be valid for more complicated plasma compositions. Only three polynomial conservation laws can be obtained. The mKdV equation with quartic nonlinearity is not completely integrable, thus precluding the existence of multi-soliton solutions. Next, the full Sagdeev pseudopotential method has been applied and this allows for a detailed comparison with the reductive perturbation results. This comparison shows that the mKdV solitons have slightly larger amplitudes and widths than those obtained from the more complete Sagdeev solution and that only slightly superacoustic mKdV solitons have acceptable amplitudes and widths, in the light of the full solutions.

Good Agreement

The relaxation of two-temperature electron–ion systems is investigated. We apply a quantum kinetic approach which is suitable to treat strong electron–ion coupling and avoids any ad hoc cut-off procedures. A comparison with the usual Landau–Spitzer formula gives good agreement for Coulomb logarithms larger than three, whereas larger relaxation rates were found for strongly coupled plasmas. It is shown that the Landau–Spitzer theory can be greatly improved considering hyperbolic orbits. Numerical results for the energy transfer rates and the temporal behavior of the electron temperature are shown.
