Two more classes of monotonic double layers complementing the class of beam-type double layers are investigated analytically, and their range of existence is explored in the small amplitude limit. One class preferentially exists for hot ions and electron drifts of the order of electron thermal velocity. The second one, instead, assumes hot electrons and needs almost current-free conditions. The first class, called SEADL, is based on the slow electron acoustic branch and exhibits a tuning-fork configuration in the electron phase space. Its density decreases with increasing potential. The second one (SIADL) rests on the slow ion acoustic branch and. consequently, has a tuning-fork pattern in the ion phase space. Its density increases with the potential. Both classes are found to be linearly stable with respect to one-dimensional, but unstable with respect to two-dimensional electrostatic perturbations. A comparison with experiments suggests an identification of the second type with the double layers obtained by Hollenstein

Abstract. Arbitrary amplitude electron acoustic solitons are studied in an unmagnetized plasma having cold electrons and ions, superthermal hot electrons and an electron beam. Using the Sagdeev pseudo potential method, theoretical analysis is carried out by assuming superthermal hot electrons having kappa distribution. The results show that inclusion of an electron beam alters the minimum value of spectral index, κ, of the superthermal electron distribution and Mach number for which electron-acoustic solitons can exist and also changes their width and electric field amplitude. For the auroral region parameters, the maximum electric field amplitudes and soliton widths are found in the range ~(30–524) mV m−1 and ~(329–729) m, respectively, for fixed Mach number M = 1.1 and for electron beam speed of (660–1990) km s−1.

AbstractThe effects of density and temperature on a surface electron-acoustic plasma wave are investigated in a semi-bounded dusty plasma of two-temperature electrons. The dispersion relation of the surface electron-acoustic plasma wave is obtained by the plasma dielectric function with the specular reflection boundary condition. The phase velocity is found to be decreased when increasing the ratio of the temperature of hot electrons to that of cold electrons for large wave numbers. It is also found that the phase velocity increases with an increase in the ratio of the density of hot electrons to that of cold electrons and that the phase velocity of the surface electron-acoustic wave increases with an increase in the density of the dust grains.
