Abstract

Large amplitude electrostatic structures associated with low-frequency dust kinetic Alfvénic waves are investigated under the pressure (temperature) gradient indicative of dust dynamics. The set of equations governing the dust dynamics, Boltzmann electrons, ions and Maxwell’s equation have been reduced to a single equation known as the Sagdeev potential equation. Parameter ranges for the existence of arbitrary amplitude double layers are observed. Exact analytical expressions for the energy integral is obtained and computed numerically through which sub-Alfvénic arbitrary amplitude rarefactive double layers are found to exist.
