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

Journal Article 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.}

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

Journal Article 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

Journal Article 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.

Comment on ''Electromagnetic decay into a surface plasma wave and an ion acoustic surface wave in a semi-infinite plasma''

Journal Article Mateev, E. ; Zhelyazkov, I. - J. Appl. Phys.; (United States)

It is pointed out that the parametric instability of surface modes in a semi-infinite plasma is a four-wave process and the threshold should be approx.0.7(m/sub i//m/sub e/)/sup 1/2/ times larger than that found by Yasumoto (J. Appl. Phys. 52, 3238 (1981)).

Electromagnetic decay into a surface plasma wave and an ion acoustic surface wave in a semi-infinite plasma

Journal Article Yasumoto, K. - J. Appl. Phys.; (United States)

The decay instability of a high-frequency surface plasma wave and a low-frequency ion acoustic surface wave, which arises when an intense electromagnetic plane wave is incident perpendicularly on an unmagnetized semi-infinite plasma from a vacuum, is investigated on the basis of two-fluid hydrodynamics for warm electrons and cold ions. The growth rate for the instability and the threshold amplitude of the incident wave are determined. The growth rate is compared numerically with that for a similar decay instability of the corresponding volume-wave modes. In contrast to the ''volume'' decay instability, the present one gives an appreciable growth rate even ifmore »« less
