Abstract
An investigation of dust ion-acoustic (DIA) cnoidal waves in unmagnetized collisionless plasma consisting of two temperature superthermal electrons, inertial warm ions, and negatively charged dust grains is presented. Reductive perturbation technique has been used to derive the modified Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) equation for the study of nonlinear periodic waves. Further, applying the Sagdeev potential approach, energy balance equation is derived. Using the expression for Sagdeev potential in expanded form, the cnoidal wave solution is determined. Both positive and negative potential (compressive and rarefactive) nonlinear DIA cnoidal structures are observed. The effects of parameters like the number density of cold electrons, superthermality of hot and cold electrons, ions to hot electrons temperature ratio, and dust to ion density ratio on the characteristics of DIA cnoidal waves are analyzed.
