Abstract
Dust ion-acoustic waves propagating in a complex plasma containing dusty particles and suprathermal electrons and ions are kinetically analyzed. The suprathermal particles are effectively modeled by the Lorentzian (kappa) velocity distribution function. For a collisionless and unmagnetized plasma, the full spectrum of the dispersion relation is obtained and the suprathermal particle effects on the wave frequency and the Landau damping are investigated. For a given wave number, the wave frequency decreases as the spectral index κ decreases, especially very rapidly in the low κ region. The Landau damping of the wave and its maximum are derived. They are found to be enhanced by the increase of suprathermal particles. The ion-to-electron density ratio also enhances the damping rate greatly.
