Dust-acoustic waves in strongly coupled dusty plasmas with nonextensive electrons and ions

Abstract

The nonlinear features of dust-acoustic waves in a strongly coupled unmagnetized dusty plasma containing electrons and ions following q-nonextensive distribution, and negatively charged mobile dust are investigated by using the reductive perturbation method. The effects of important parameters, such as the q-parameter, temperature, density, and velocity on the properties of solitary and shock waves are discussed. The conditions for the formation of solitary structures and monotonic and oscillatory shock structures are also found. The implications of our result in space and laboratory dusty plasmas are discussed.
