Ion acoustic solitary waves in an adiabatic dusty plasma: roles of superthermal electrons, ion loss and ionization

Abstract

Abstract The propagation of dust ion acoustic solitary wave (DIASW) is investigated in the multicomponent dusty plasma with adiabatic ions, superthermal electrons and stationary dust. The reductive perturbation method is employed to derive the damped Korteweg-de Vries (DKdV) equation which describes DIASW. The result reveals that, the adiabaticity of ions significantly modifies the basic features of the DIASW. The ionization effect makes the solitary wave growing, while collisions reduce the growth rate and even lead to the damping. With the increase in ionization cross section $\frac{{\Delta \sigma }}{{{\sigma _0}}}$, ion-to-electron density ratio ${{\delta}_{\rm{ie}}}$ and superthermal electrons parameter $\kappa $, the effect of ionization on DIASW enhances.
