Dust Charge Fluctuations

Wave mixing resulting from the resonance of electromagnetic waves with ion acoustic waves modified by dust charge fluctuations is investigated. The corresponding nonlinear susceptibilities are derived and applied to the study of phase conjugation by four-wave mixing. It is shown that dust charge fluctuations can lead to a filling-up of the resonance-induced splitting of the phase-conjugate reflectivity, making the latter a useful tool for the diagnostics of dusty plasmas.

Dust Charge Fluctuations

We study the effect of charge fluctuations on the propagation of adiabatic linear and nonlinear dust-acoustic waves by considering the electrons and ions to be in Boltzmann equilibria, and the dust grains to satisfy the fluid equations with full adiabatic equation of state. Linear dust-acoustic waves are damped owing to the dust-charge fluctuations, and the damping rate decreases with increasing adiabatic dust pressure. Nonlinear dust-acoustic waves are governed by the set of coupled Boussinesq-like and dust-charge perturbation equations. It is shown that for unidirectional propagation, the Boussinesq-like equation reduces to usual Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation. At early times, the localized solutions of the KdV equation are damped owing to the dust-charge perturbations. The soliton amplitude decreases with increasing adiabatic dust plasma pressure and increases with Mach number. Soliton solutions are found only in the supersonic regime.

Dust acoustic solitary waves, blow-up solitary waves and periodic waves have been investigated in unmagnetized dusty plasmas with Maxwell-distributed electrons and ions, considering dust charge fluctuations using the bifurcation theory of planar dynamical systems. The basic equations are transformed to an ordinary differential equation involving the electrostatic potential. Applying the bifurcation theory of planar dynamical systems, we have established the existence of solitary, blow-up solitary and periodic waves. Four exact solutions of the solitary, blow-up solitary and periodic waves are derived depending on the physical parameters. Regarding the solitary, blow-up solitary and periodic waves, we have presented the combined effects of the density ratio of electrons and ions (${\it\alpha}$), the temperature ratio of electrons and ions $({\it\beta})$ and the speed of the travelling wave ($v$) on the characteristics of dust acoustic solitary, blow-up solitary and periodic waves.

It is shown that the recently published work of Pandey and Dwivedi [J. Plasma Phys. 55, 395 (1996)] dealing with dust-acoustic waves in a self-gravitating unmagnetized dusty plasma is erroneous. This is demonstrated on the basis of a dispersion relation in which gravitational and electrostatic forces are kept on an equal footing. Furthermore, a general linear dispersion relation for the dust-acoustic and dust-ion acoustic waves in self-gravitating dusty plasmas is obtained, taking into account the dust-charge perturbations. Specific results for limiting cases are discussed.
