The determination of double layers (DLs) of specific amplitudes corresponding to a known amount of drifts v0 is completely a new result in this investigation. The same value of c(=v0 −M kz) with temperature dependent drifts v0 for different α (temperature), M (Mach number), and kz (direction) values is seen to produce double layers (DLs) of the same amplitudes positive or negative. Two new classical distributions of non-thermal inertial electrons and ions are established.
