The modulational instability (MI) of ion-acoustic (IA) waves (IAWs) and associated IA rogue waves (IARWs) in double pair plasma containing non-extensive electrons, iso-thermal positrons, negatively and positively charged ions have been governed by the standard nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE). It has been figured out from the numerical study of NLSE that the plasma system holds modulationally stable (unstable) region in which the dispersive and nonlinear coefficients of the NLSE have the opposite (same) signs. It is also found that the fundamental features of IAWs (viz., MI criteria, amplitude and width of the IARWs, etc.) are rigorously organized by the plasma parameters such as mass, charge state, and number density of the plasma components. The existing outcomes of our present study should be helpful for understanding the nonlinear features of IAWs (viz., MI and IARWs) in both laboratory and space plasmas.

The passage of an ion-acoustic solitary wave through the boundary between an electron-ion plasma and a negative ion plasma is considered. After the ion-acoustic solitary wave enters the region of another plasma, a disturbance arises, from which an ion-acoustic solitary wave and a chain of oscillations form over time. The amplitude of the ion-acoustic solitary wave after passage through the boundary changes in such a way that its value in the electron-ion plasma is greater than its value in the negative ion plasmas. An exception is the case of a compressive ion-acoustic solitary wave propagatin…

The nonlinear dynamics of electron-acoustic localized structures in a collisionless and unmagnetized plasma consisting of "cool" inertial electrons, "hot" electrons having a kappa distribution, and stationary ions is studied. The inertialess hot electron distribution thus has a long-tailed suprathermal (non-Maxwellian) form. A dispersion relation is derived for linear electron-acoustic waves. They show a strong dependence of the charge screening mechanism on excess suprathermality (through κ). A nonlinear pseudopotential technique is employed to investigate the occurrence of stationary-profile…
Acoustic solitons obtained through a reductive perturbation scheme are normally governed by a Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. In multispecies plasmas at critical compositions the coefficient of the quadratic nonlinearity vanishes. Extending the analytic treatment then leads to a modified KdV (mKdV) equation, which is characterized by a cubic nonlinearity and is even in the electrostatic potential. The mKdV equation admits solitons having opposite electrostatic polarities, in contrast to KdV solitons which can only be of one polarity at a time. A Hirota formalism has been used to derive the t…
Orbits six through nine of the Parker Solar Probe have been studied to show that solar wind core electrons emerged from 15 solar radii with temperatures that were constant to within ~10% although the solar wind speed varied from 300 to 800 km/sec. After leaving 15 solar radii, the core electrons were isotropically heated as much as a factor of two below 30 solar radii by triggered and natural ion acoustic waves. To distinguish this wave heating from processes occurring inside 15 solar radii, the electron temperature is modeled as having two components, the base temperature observed at 15 solar…
