Ion acoustic solitary waves in a plasma with nonthermal electrons featuring Tsallis distribution.

TL;DR: In this article, a physically meaningful nonextensive non-thermal velocity distribution is outlined, where the rarefactive solitons are more affected by nonextensivity than their compressive counterpart and a slight increase in the nonextense parameter may destroy this dual nature.
Journal ArticleDOI

Solitary waves in an ultrarelativistic degenerate dense plasma

TL;DR: In this article, the reductive perturbation method was used to identify the basic features of spherical electrostatic solitary structures that may form in such a degenerate dense plasma, and the implications of these results in compact astrophysical objects, particularly in white dwarfs, have been briefly discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Arbitrary amplitude solitary waves and double layers in an ultra-relativistic degenerate dense dusty plasma

TL;DR: In this paper, a pseudo-potential approach was used to investigate arbitrary amplitude solitary waves (SWs) and double layers (DLs) in an ultra-relativistic degenerate dense dusty plasma (containing inertial ultra-cold ion fluid, negatively charged static dust) and showed that SWs with positive potential coexist with DLs with a negative potential for 0.537 > μ > 0.851.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nonlinear propagation of electromagnetic waves in negative-refraction-index composite materials.

TL;DR: A set of coupled nonlinear Schrödinger (CNLS) equations are used to obtain a nonlinear dispersion, which depicts the modulational stability profile of the coupled plane-wave solutions in left-handed materials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modulated electrostatic modes in pair plasmas: modulational stability profile and envelope excitations

TL;DR: In this article, the nonlinear propagation of modulated electrostatic wave packets was studied by employing a two-fluid plasma model, and two distinct electrostatic modes were obtained, namely a quasiacoustic lower moddfe and a Langmuir-like upper one, in agreement with experimental observations and theoretical predictions.
