Dust Acoustic Compressive Waves in a Warm Dusty Plasma Having Non-Thermal Ions and Non-Isothermal Electrons

Abstract

In this article an investigation is presented on the properties of dust acoustic (DA) compressive solitary wave propagation in an adiabatic dusty plasma, including the effect of non-thermal positive and negative ions and non-isothermal electrons. The reductive perturbation method has been employed to derive the lower degree modified Kadomtsev-Petviashivili (mK-P), 3D Schamel-Korteweg-de-Vries equation or modified Kadomtsev-Petviashivili (mK-P) equations for dust acoustic solitary waves in a homogeneous, unmagnetized and collisionless plasma whose constituents are non-isothermal electrons, singly charged positive and negative non-thermal ions and massive charged dust particles. The stationary analytical solutions of the lower degree mK-P and mK-P equations are numerically analyzed, where the effect of various dusty plasma constituents on DA solitary wave propagation is taken into account. It is observed that both the ions in dusty plasma play a key role in the formation of DA compressive solitary waves, and also the ion concentration and non-isothermal electrons control the transformation of the compressive potentials of the waves.
