Solitonic, quasi-periodic and periodic pattern of electron acoustic waves in quantum plasma

Abstract

In the present paper we investigate the nonlinear wave structures of electron acoustic waves (EAWs) in an unmagnetized quantum plasma consisting of cold and hot electrons and ions. The one-dimensional quantum hydrodynamic model is used to study the quantum correction of the well known EAWs. Computational investigations have been performed to examine the effects of quantum diffraction and Mach number on nonlinear waves. It is shown that for Mach number M 1, quasi-periodic and periodic type solution exist. The effects of other several parameters on the properties of EAWs are also discussed.
