Abstract
In this article, we investigate the linear and nonlinear behavior of ion-plasma waves in a two-component plasma containing ions and dust particles. We have studied the linear dispersion characteristics, nonlinear KdV solitons, and amplitude modulated electrostatic waves. Such ion-plasma wave modes in dust-ion plasma have been theoretically investigated by incorporating quantum diffraction and relativistic effects. Numerical analysis of the linear dispersion relation with variations of different parameters has been carried out. By employing the reductive perturbation technique the KdV equation describing the small amplitude solitary profile has been studied. Using the standard multiple scale perturbation method, a nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation has been derived by including quantum and relativistic effects, which describes the nonlinear evolution of the ion-plasma waves in dust-ion plasma. The wave is found to become modulationally unstable beyond certain critical wavenumber. The critical wavenumber and the growth rate of modulational instability are shown to depend significantly on the relativistic motion of plasma particles and the quantum diffraction effect. The results presented in the article are expected to be helpful for understanding the propagation of finite amplitude ion-plasma waves in some laboratory and astrophysical plasma systems. <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">PACS</i> —52.59.Hq, 67.10.Jn, 52.20 −j, 52.25 −b, 52.30 −d, 52.35 Mw, 52.65 Vv
