Ion acoustic solitons in the presence of density gradients

  • 1. Tel Aviv Univ. (Israel). Dept. of Physics and Astronomy

Description

It is shown that density gradients may affect the behaviour of ion acoustic solitons in such a way that their amplitudes, velocities and widths are proportional to fractional powers of the ion density, in agreement with recent experimental results. (Auth.)
