Weakly relativistic solitons in a cold plasma with electron inertia
Abstract
Ion-acoustic solitons have been investigated in a cold plasma in the presence of electron inertia through the derivation of the Korteweg{endash}de Vries (KdV) equation taking into account of weakly relativistic effects. Interestingly, relativistic solitons of both compressive and rarefactive characters are found to exist at the negligible difference of {ital u}{sub 0}/{ital c} and {ital v}{sub 0}/{ital c} ({ital u}{sub 0}, {ital v}{sub 0} being the initial speeds of streaming electrons and ions respectively, and {ital c}, the velocity of light) of the order 1{times}10{sup -7}. {copyright} {ital 1996 American Institute of Physics.}
