Nonlinear propagation of ion-acoustic waves and low-frequency electrostatic modes in a dusty plasma is investigated. The evolution equations of these modes are developed and solved analytically. It is found that for small grain charge usual ion-acoustic solitons may exist in a dusty plasma, but increasing grain charge destroys them and finally they may disappear. The low-frequency electrostatic mode may be localized, forming solitons, which may act as centres of wave scattering in a dusty plasma.

AbstractThe nonlinear propagation characteristics of dust ion acoustic waves in the presence of weak dissipations arising due to the low rates (compared to the ion oscillation frequency) of ionization, ion loss and dust charging are investigated. It is found that the ion acoustic solitary wave in such a dusty plasma is weakly dissipative in nature and is governed by a modified form of the Korteweg–de Vries equation. The analytical solution reveals that the ionization has a destabilizing effect, whereas ion loss and dust charge variation play a stabilizing role to control the ionization instability.
