Effects of Vortex-Like Ion Distribution on Dust-Acoustic Solitary Waves in a Self-Gravitating Opposite Polarity Dusty Plasmas

详细

A self-gravitating opposite polarity dust plasma (SGOPDP) medium (containing both positively and negatively charged dust, vortex-like distributed ions and Maxwellian electrons) has been considered in order to examine the effect of vortex-like (trapped) ion distribution on dust-acoustic (DA) solitary waves (SWs) propagating in SGOPDP medium. The reductive perturbation method, which is valid for small but finite amplitude SWs, is employed to derive a modified Korteweg-de Vries equation having stronger nonlinearity. The basic features of the DA SWs in SGOPDP medium are found to be significantly modified by the combined effect of self-gravitational field and vortex-like ion distribution. The results of this paper have many implications in space and laboratory dusty plasmas.
