The nonlinear wave structures of small-amplitude ion acoustic waves in a warm plasma with adiabatic negative-ion, positron and electron constituents traversed by a warm electron beam (with different temperatures) in the vicinity of the critical negative-ion density are investigated using reductive perturbation method. The basic set of equations is reduced to an evolution equation that includes quadratic and cubic nonlinearities. The effective potential of this equation agrees exactly, for small wave amplitudes, with the Sagdeev potential obtained from the original fluid equations using a pseudopotential method. This implies that the evolution equation holds not only in the vicinity of the critical negative-ion density but also in the whole range of negative-ion density under the condition of small wave amplitude.

Ion Acoustic

The nonlinear properties of the ion acoustic waves (IAWs) in a three-component quantum plasma comprising electrons, and positive and negative ions are investigated analytically and numerically by employing the quantum hydrodynamic (QHD) model. The Sagdeev pseudopotential technique is applied to obtain the small-amplitude soliton solution. The effects of the quantum parameter$H$, positive to negative ion density ratio${\it\beta}$and Mach number on the nonlinear structures are investigated. It is found that these factors can significantly modify the properties of the IAWs. The existence of quasi-periodic and chaotic oscillations in the system is established. Switching from quasi-periodic to chaotic is possible with the variation of Mach number or quantum parameter$H$.

AbstractThe hydrodynamic equations of positive and negative ions, degenerate electrons, and the Poisson equation are used along with the reductive perturbation method to derive the three-dimensional Zakharov–Kuznetsov (ZK) equation. The G′/G-expansion method is used to obtain a new class of solutions for the ZK equation. At certain condition, these solutions can describe the solitary waves that propagate in our plasma. The effects of negative ion concentrations, the positive/negative ion cyclotron frequency, as well as positive-to-negative ion mass ratio on solitary pulses are examined. Finally, the present study might be helpful to understand the propagation of nonlinear ion-acoustic solitary waves in a dense plasma, such as in astrophysical objects.

The derivative expansion perturbation method is applied to investigate the modulation of nonlinear ion-acoustic waves in a weakly relativistic warm plasma. At the second order of perturbation theory, a nonlinear Schrödingertype equation for the complex amplitude of the perturbed ion density is obtained. The coefficients in this equation show that the condition of modulational stability is modified by the relativistic effect as well as by the finite ion temperature. The association between the small-wavenumber limit of the nonlinear Schrödinger-type equation and the oscillatory solution of the Korteweg-de Vries equation obtained by reductive perturbation theory is considered. Different limits are considered in order to compare with previous work.

AbstractA theoretical investigation on the nonlinear propagation of ion-acoustic waves in a degenerate dense plasma has been made by employing the reductive perturbation method. The Burger's equation has been derived, and numerically analyzed. The basic features of electrostatic shock structures have been examined. It has been shown that the plasma system under consideration supports the propagation of electrostatic shock structures. The implications of our results (obtained from this investigation) in compact astrophysical objects have been briefly discussed.
