Characteristics of ion-acoustic solitary wave in a laboratory dusty plasma under the influence of ion-beam

Deka, M. K. ; Adhikary, N. C. ; Bailung, H. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

We study the influence of ion beam and charged dust impurity on the propagation of dust ion-acoustic solitary wave in an unmagnetized plasma consisting of Boltzmann distributed electrons, positive ions, positive ion beam, and negatively charged immobile dusts in a double plasma device. On interacting with an ion beam, the solitary wave is bifurcated into a compressive fast and a rarefactive slow beam mode, and appears along with the primary wave. However, there exists a critical velocity of the beam beyond which the amplitude of the fast solitary wave starts diminishing and rarefactive slow beam mode propagates with growing amplitude.more »« less

Dust-acoustic waves driven by an ion-dust streaming instability in laboratory discharge dusty plasma experiments

Merlino, Robert L. - Physics of Plasmas

Dust acoustic waves (DAWs) are spontaneously excited in dusty plasmas produced in dc and rf discharge plasmas over a wide range of plasma and dust conditions. A common feature of these plasmas is the presence of an ion drift relative to the dust, which is driven by an electric field, E{sub o} in the discharge. Using a three fluid model of the DAWs, including the zero order electric field and collisions of all species with the background neutral gas (pressure P{sub o}), DAW stability curves were obtained in the E{sub o}-P{sub o} plane, for various dust and wave parameters.

Rarefactive ion acoustic soliton excitation using a modulated high-frequency sinusoidal wave in a negative ion plasma

Yi, S. ; Lonngren, K.E. - Physics of Plasmas

Experiments on the excitation of rarefactive ion acoustic solitons using a fine mesh grid in a negative ion plasma are described. The excitation is novel in that a modulated high-frequency sinusoidal wave voltage signal is applied to the grid. An interpretation of the velocity modulation and bunching of free-streaming ions that pass through the grid to which the signal is applied is given. {copyright} {ital 1997 American Institute of Physics.}

Amplification of ion acoustic wave in an inhomogeneous plasma through nonlinear wave-particle interaction with drift wave turbulence

Deka, P. N. ; Borgohain, A. - Physics of Plasmas

A study on the amplification of ion acoustic wave in an inhomogeneous plasma has been made on the basis of a nonlinear wave-particle interaction process called plasma maser effect. The drift wave instability, which is a universal phenomenon of an inhomogeneous confined plasma system, is found to be strongly in phase relation with thermal particles and may transfer its wave energy nonlinearly through a modulated field to ion acoustic wave. Considering a Maxwellian distribution function model for inhomogeneous plasmas under the standard local approximation, we have estimated the growth rate for ion acoustic wave, which is obtained by using themore »« less
