TL;DR: In this paper, a multiscale technique is employed to solve the fluid Maxwell equations describing weakly nonlinear circularly polarized electromagnetic pulses in magnetized plasmas, and a nonlinear Schr?dinger (NLS) type equation is shown to govern the amplitude of the vector potential.
Journal ArticleDOI
Freak waves and electrostatic wavepacket modulation in a quantum electron–positron–ion plasma
TL;DR: In this article, the occurrence of rogue waves (freak waves) associated with electrostatic wavepacket propagation in a quantum electron-positron-ion plasma is investigated from first principles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ion-acoustic envelope modes in a degenerate relativistic electron-ion plasma
TL;DR: In this paper, a self-consistent relativistic two-fluid model for one-dimensional electron-ion plasma dynamics is proposed, where a multiple scales perturbation technique is employed, leading to an evolution equation for the wave envelope, in the form of a nonlinear Schrodinger type equation (NLSE).

New insight into the dispersion characteristics of electrostatic waves in ultradense plasmas: electron degeneracy and relativistic effects
TL;DR: In this article, the dispersion properties of electrostatic waves propagating in ultra-high density plasma are investigated, from first principles, in a one-dimensional geometry, using a self-consistent multispecies plasma fluid model, incorporating electron degeneracy and relativistic effects.
