Description

The combined effects of the flat-topped ion distribution and dust temperature are incorporated in the study of small but finite amplitude dust-acoustic (DA) solitary waves (SWs) as well double layers (DLs) in an unmagnetized dusty plasma. Due to the flat-trapped ions, our plasma model admits only rarefactive localized structures. It is found that the effects of dust temperature and resonant particles significantly modify the criteria for the existence of DA SWs and DLs, as well as significantly modify their basic properties.
