Ion-Acoustic Solitary Waves in An Unmagnetised Dusty Plasma Having Inertialess Electrons with Quantum Effects
Abstract
This investigation illustrates the presence and characteristics of compressive and rarefactive solitons in an unmagnetized plasma that includes positive ions, negatively charged dust, inertialess electrons with quantum effect and nonextensively distributed electrons and positrons. For this unmagnetized dusty plasma with positive ions, negatively charged dust, inertialess electrons with quantum effect and nonextensively distributed electrons and positrons, the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation is derived and thus existence and behaviour of compressive and rarefactive soliton is examined. The fluid equations of motion governing the one-dimensional plasma serve as the foundation for the analysis. Using different relational forms of the strength parameter (ε) to stretch the space and time variables results in different nonlinearities. When discussing the effects on soliton amplitude, nonlinearity, and dispersion, various plasma parameters have been considered.
