Inclusion of a quantizing magnetic field in a partially degenerate plasma has interesting effects on the propagation of solitary and nonlinear periodic structures in coupled kinetic Alfven acoustic waves. In this paper we use the two potential theory and investigate the nonlinear structures using Sagdeev potential approach and further analyze it using nonlinear dynamical methods. It is shown that the existence of solitary structure is sensitive to small temperature effects and quantizing magnetic field in a dense plasma with adiabatically trapped electrons. The work presented here is useful in understanding the low frequency wave propagation in a dense astrophysical environment like white dwarf stars and in low beta laboratory plasmas e.g. intense laser-plasma interactions.
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.
