Effects of polarization force and nonthermal ions on dust-acoustic (DA) shock waves in a strongly coupled dusty plasma with positively charged dust

The modifications arising in the dusty plasma sheath structure due to the presence of polarization forces acting on the dust grains are investigated. The corresponding appropriate Bohm criterion for sheath formation is obtained. It is found that the critical Mach number, beyond which the dusty plasma electrostatic sheath sets in, decreases whenever the polarization effects become important. In addition, when the polarization force dominates over the electrical one, the dust plasma sheath cannot set in. This happens whenever the dust grain size exceeds a critical threshold. Moreover, the sheath electrostatic potential-gradient becomes abruptly steep, and the sheath thickness becomes broader as the polarization force effects strengthen.

The polarization force-induced changes in the dust-acoustic waves (DAWs) modulational instability (MI) are examined. Using the reductive perturbation method, the nonlinear Schrödinger equation that governs the MI of the DAWs is obtained. It is found that the effect of the polarization term R is to narrow the wave number domain for the onset of instability. The amplitude of the wave envelope decreases as R increases, meaning that the polarization force effects render weaker the associated DA rogue waves. The latter may therefore completely damp in the vicinity of R ∼ 1, i.e., as the polarization force becomes close to the electrostatic one (the net force acting on the dust particles becomes vanishingly small). The DA rogue wave profile is very sensitive to any change in the restoring force acting on the dust particles. It turns out that the polarization effects may completely smear out the DA rogue waves.

The effect of non-thermal ion population on self-gravitational instability of magnetized dusty plasma considering electrons are in Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution has been investigated. The dust dynamics is described including polarization force, thermal velocity, and charge fluctuation dust. The modified general dispersion relation has been derived including non-thermal ion population, polarization force, and dust charge fluctuation for self-gravitating dusty plasma system, using the normal mode analysis method. The obtained general dispersion relation is discussed in parallel and perpendicular modes of propagation. The population of non-thermal ion, polarization force and dust charge fluctuation affect the self-gravitational instability criteria in both the modes of propagation while the magnetic field affects the instability criterion only in perpendicular mode of propagation. The domains of instability has been discussed analytically to signify the importance of considered parameters. The stability of the self-gravitating dusty plasma system has been analyzed using Routh-Hurwitz stability criterion. Numerical calculations have been performed to analyze the effects of non-thermal ion population, polarization force, and dust charge fluctuation on the growth rate of self-gravitational instability. The results of the present work can be useful in self-gravitating dusty plasma found in space and the interstellar medium such as the interstellar molecular clouds where non-thermally distributed ions are the species of the plasma matter.
