Modulation Instability of Ion-Acoustic Waves in Plasma with Nonthermal Electrons

Abstract: Modulational instability of ion-acoustic waves has been theoretically investigated in an unmagnetized collisionless plasma with nonthermal electrons, Boltzmann positrons, and warm positive ions. To describe the nonlinear evolution of the wave amplitude a nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation has been derived by using multiple scale perturbation technique. The nonthermal parameter, positron concentration, and ion temperature are shown to play significant role in the modulational instability of ion-acoustic waves… Show more

“…Further, hot places will have high temperatures and will be more viscous as compared to cold places in a fluid. To discuss the modulational stability or instability of the ion temperature gradient mode in electron-ion plasma, we know from previous observations (Ghosh and Banerjee, 2014;Chowdhury et al, 2018Chowdhury et al, , 2019Sultana and Kourakis, 2011) that the product of LM can provide information about modulational stability and instability for the mode. There are three main conditions for the modulational waves.…”

“…Observing the same effect at nearly opposite ends of spatial and timescales of MI in physics is a convincing argument confirming the validity of the finding. It means that similar phenomena at other scales such as MI in plasma (39) or in Bose-Einstein condensate (40) must also be reexamined. In optics, the extension of the range of frequencies leading to MI might have multiple applications for generating frequency combs (41), periodic pulse trains (42), and supercontinuum radiation (43).…”

“…It is an important area of investigation in different quantum systems due to their significance in understanding the various processes leading to the growth and decay of excitations of waves and noises under various circumstances [19]. Different types of instabilities like modulational, parametric, and streaming have been studied extensively for a long time in the context of quantum plasma [20][21][22][23][24][25][26] in general. Recent studies have provided a thorough analysis of the many instabilities that might arise in semiconducting quantum plasma [27][28][29].…”
