Oblique propagation of nonlinear solitary structures in electron positron ion plasmas under the influence of quantizing magnetic field

Abstract

We study the propagation properties of the small amplitude nonlinear ion acoustic solitary structure in dense electron-position-ion (e-p-i) plasmas. We consider an oblique propagation of the wave with respect to the applied magnetic field. The reductive perturbation technique is employed to derive the nonlinear Zakharov-Kuznetsov (ZK) equation which describes the propagation characteristics of the ion acoustic solitary wave structures in e-p-i plasmas. The effects of different plasma parameters including the positron concentration have been invesigated. These findings may be helpful to understand the small amplitude nonlinear solitary structures that exist in the dense astrophysical environments and in the intense-laser plasma interactions.
