Transient behaviours of ion-acoustic waves in magnetized plasma with negative ions

G.C. Das, Apratim Nag

Abstract


Study, based on reductive perturbation technique of ion-acoustic wave propagation in the vicinity of Kortewegde Vries(K-dV) equation has been made in magnetized plasma with negative ions. The presence of negative ions changes the nonlinearity as a result of which the formation of soliton exhibits different nature on soliton propagation. To derive the soliton solution, a method, known as hyperbolic method has been employed successfully to solve the modified K-dV equation and have shown the characteristic variation on the formation of soliton profile with intensification of high energy region coined as soliton radiation region in plasmas. The observations have then been evaluated with some symbolic computation relying on future experiments to detect those effects which appear due to the parametric variation.
