Abstract

The nonlinear relativistic dynamics of electron acoustic waves (EAWs) in collisionless, unmagnetized plasma comprising cold inertial electrons, hot Boltzmann distributed electrons, and stationary ions are studied. The Sagdeev pseudopotential technique is employed to discuss the effect of equilibrium plasma species density and temperature of the hot electrons on the relativistic solitary wave solutions. In exploring the electron acoustic soliton characteristics, we encounter only negative polarity solitons which are found to exist in a restricted range of the physical parameter space of the system. In addition, we extend our analysis to demonstrate the wave breaking phenomena of EAW and estimate the maximum sustainable electric field amplitude of this mode considering the relativistic electron mass variation effect.
