(3 + 1) dimensional nonlinear ion acoustic waves in multicomponent plasma containing Kappa distributed electrons

Abstract

The (3 + 1) dimensional nonlinear ion acoustic waves in multicomponent complex plasma with Kappa electron distribution are studied in this work. The Zakharov-Kuznetsov (ZK) equation for ion acoustic wave is investigated by the reductive perturbation method. The variation of nonlinear ion acoustic wave with system parameter is obtained. Meanwhile, the Sagdeev potential function is obtained by using the Sagdeev potential method. And the phase diagram in a two-dimensional autonomous system of the multicomponent complex plasma with Kappa electron distribution is studied. Finally, the important influence of system parameter on the phase diagram, the Sagdeev potential function and the propagating characteristics of (3 + 1) dimensional nonlinear acoustic solitary waves are discussed in detail.
