Ion-acoustic solitons in negative ion plasma with relativistic degenerate electrons and positrons

Abstract

In this paper, the oblique propagation of the ion-acoustic quantum soliton in polarized quantum plasma including relativistic degenerate electrons and positrons is studied. By using the reductive perturbation method, we derived the ZK equation for this model. This equation shows that in presence of the negative ion there are two slow and fast ion-acoustic modes. Our numerical results indicate that there are only compressive and refractive solitons for fast and slow modes, respectively. The effect of the negative ion parameters on the amplitude and width of the ion-acoustic quantum soliton are studied, as well.
