Electron-acoustic dressed solitons with nonthermal-Tsallis distributed hot electrons

The present investigation deals with the study of higher-order nonlinearity and dispersion to electron-acoustic waves in an unmagnetized and collisionless plasma system incorporating immobile ions, cool adiabatic electrons and nonthermal-Tsallis distributed hot electrons. Employing proper stretched coordinates and Reductive Perturbation Method (RPM), dispersion relation and Korteweg de-Vries (KdV) equation have been derived to the lower-order potential. An inhomogeneous KdV-type equation emerges to the next higher order that accounts for fifth-order dispersion. This study focuses on revealing the dependency of the behaviour of dressed electron-acoustic waves on nonthermal parameter (β), hot-to-cool electron density ratio (α), hot-to-cool electron temperature ratio (θ), Mach number (Δ𝑀) and nonextensive parameter (q). Only negative potential structures are reported for which the numerical results are interpreted in the form of two and three-dimensional profiles. The numerical results reflect the decrease in the amplitude of dressed solitary structures, thus obliging simulation of electron-acoustic solitary behaviour in the auroral regions and magnetosphere of Earth.
