Abstract

The propagation of nonlinear dust cyclotron (DC) cnoidal waves having superthermal distributed electrons and ions in the presence of external magnetic field and adiabatic dust charge variation is investigated. The effect of dust charge variation is profoundly modified due to the presence of the superthermal electrons and ions. The dust charge variation parameter decreases with an increase in the superthermality index of ions. Adopting the reductive perturbation approach, it is shown that the dynamics of the cnoidal structure is modeled by a Korteweg–de Vries equation. It is found that only negative potential DC cnoidal and solitary structures are observed in such a plasma. The results further reveal that the cnoidal structures strongly depend on the degree of superthermality, dust charge variation parameter, temperature and number density of fluid particles, angle of obliqueness, as well as on the magnetic field strength. The numerical results confirm that as the dust charge variation enters the picture, amplitude as well as the width of the cnoidal waves enhances. Furthermore, the analysis is performed through Sagdeev potential, plane phase plot and spatial variation of potential to elucidate various aspects of the cnoidal wave dynamics in the presence of the adiabatic dust charge variation.
