Abstract. Small amplitude electron - acoustic solitons are studied in a magnetized plasma consisting of two types of electrons, namely cold electron beam and background plasma electrons and two temperature ion plasma. The analysis predicts rarefactive solitons. The model may provide a possible explanation for the perpendicular polarization of the low-frequency component of the broadband electrostatic noise observed in the Earth's magnetotail.

Nonlinear interaction between Langmuir waves and Electron Acoustic Wave (EAW) is being studied in a warm magnetized plasma in presence of two intermingled fluids, hot electrons, and cold electrons while ions forming static background. Two-fluid, two-timescale theory is performed to derive modified Zakharov's equations in a magnetized plasma. These coupled equations describe low-frequency response of electron density due to high-frequency electric field along with magnetic field perturbations. Linear analysis shows coupling between acoustic mode, upper hybrid mode, and cyclotron modes. These modes are found to be modified due to the presence of two electron components. These equations are significant in the context of weak and strong turbulence.

The properties of nonlinear electron-acoustic rogue waves have been investigated in an unmagnetized collisionless four-component plasma system consisting of a cold electron fluid, Maxwellian hot electrons, an electron beam and stationary ions. It is found that the basic set of fluid equations is reduced to a nonlinear Schrodinger equation. The dependence of rogue wave profiles and the associated electric field on the carrier wave number, normalized density of hot electron and electron beam, relative cold electron temperature and relative beam temperature are discussed. The results of the present investigation may be applicable in auroral zone plasma.

An analytical study of the small amplitude electron acoustic double layers in a magnetized plasma consisting of superthermal electrons and ions along with cold fluid electrons is discussed. The dispersion relation allows electron acoustic waves with the frequency within electron and ion gyro-frequency in the modelled plasma. In the process of study of the nonlinear structures, the Sagdeev pseudo-potential method for small amplitude regions is employed. The existence domains for the double layers are investigated in terms of the Mach numbers of the structures and the temperature ratios of the species for different ratios of their concentration. The effects of the compositional parameters on the nature and size of the double layers are also explored and it is observed that the plasma can support both compressive and rarefactive double layers depending on the values of those parameters and the Mach numbers.
