With two-temperature ions in dusty plasma, the effects of variable dust charge on small-amplitude dust-acoustic solitons and large-amplitude dust-acoustic solitary waves are investigated. It is found that both compressive and rarefactive solitons (and solitary waves), as well as double layers, exist. The introduced small, but finite, number density of the lower temperature ions provides the possibility of the coexistence of large-amplitude rarefactive with compressive dust-density solitary waves. The amplitudes of those dust-density solitary waves become smaller and the regime of Mach number is extended wider for the variable dust charge situation compared to the constant dust charge situation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
