Abstract
We examine the effect of the electron exchange-correlation on weak and arbitrary amplitude quantum dust ion-acoustic (QDIA) solitons. The reduced quantum hydrodynamic (QHD) model is used. Carrying out a fully nonlinear analysis, it is found that the effect of the exchange-correlation on the main quantities for solitary-wave propagation can be quite important. In particular, it may be noted that the arbitrary amplitude QDIA soliton experiences a spreading as the phenomenon of exchange-correlation becomes effective. Furthermore, our results show that the exchange-correlation effects inhibit the formation of the flat-bottomed solitons and do not favor their emergence. It turns out that exchange-correlation and quantum diffraction may act concurrently to set up the conditions for the existence of the QDIA solitary waves. Our results complement and provide new insight into our previously published work on this problem.
