Cylindrical ion-acoustic solitons are investigated in a warm plasma with negative ions and multiple-temperature electrons through the derivation of a cylindrical Korteweg–de Vries equation using a reductive perturbation theory. The results are compared with those for the corresponding planar solitons.

By using the reductive perturbation technique, ion-acoustic waves are studied in a generalised multicomponent plasma. The multiple ions modify drastically the characteristics of the solitary waves. In particular, the negative ions have a critical density at which the nonlinearity of the Korteweg-deVries (K-dV) equation vanishes and the ion-acoustic solitary wave is seen to be described by a modified K-dV (mK-dV) equation. Using higher order nonlinearities, the non-uniform transition of the K-dV equation to the mK-dV equation along with the conservation of the Sagdeev potential is described. Theoretical observations on the existence of the solitary waves, as expected, could be of interest in laboratory plasmas

Propagation of nonlinear ion-acoustic waves in generalised multicomponent plasmas bounded by cylindrical and spherical geometries is investigated. At the critical density of negative ions where the nonlinearity of the Korteweg-deVries (K-dV) equation vanishes, the ion-acoustic solitary wave is described by a modified K-dV (mK-dV) equation. It is also emphasised that near the critical density neither the K-dV nor mK-dV equation is sufficient to describe fully the ion-acoustic waves and thus there is a need to derive a further mK-dV (fmK-dV) equation in the vicinity of this critical density. Furthermore, the amplitude variations of the K-dV and mK-dV solitons depending on the limitations of geometrical effects are also discussed, emphasising that the results could be of interest for diagnosing the soliton properties of laboratory plasmas.

AbstractThis paper focuses on the progress in understanding the shielding around a test charge in the presence of ion-acoustic waves in multispecies plasmas, whose constituents are positive ions, two negative ions, and Boltzmann distributed electrons. By solving the linearized Vlasov equation with Poisson equation, the Debye–Hückel screening potential and wakefield (oscillatory) potential distribution around a test charge particle are derived. It is analytically found that both the Debye–Hückel potential and the wakefield potential are significantly modified due to the presence of two negative ions. The present results might be helpful to understand and to form new materials from plasmas containing two negative ions such as Xe+ − F− − SF−6 and Ar+ − F− − SF−6 plasmas, as well as to tackle extension of the test charge problem in multinegative ions' coagulation/agglomeration.

The dispersion relation of an ion-acoustic wave propagating through a collisionless, unmagnetised plasma, having warm isothermal electrons and cold positive and negative ions has been derived. It is seen that the ion-acoustic wave will be unstable in the presence of streaming of ions. Instability of the wave is graphically analysed for the plasma having (H+, O¯) ions, (H+, O2¯) ions, (H+, SF5¯) ions, (He+, Cl¯) ions and (Ar+, O¯) ions with different negative ion concentration and relativistic velocity.

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$H$.
