Description

Multicomponent plasmas are of great attraction for research in dusty plasmas. In the present research paper, dusty plasma consisting of non-thermal electrons, Maxwellian ions, negatively and positively charged warm adiabatic dust particles, is considered. The Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation which describes the basic features of the electrostatic solitary structures is derived by use of reductive perturbation method and solved for solitary wave solution. The effect of externally applied magnetic field and non-thermal electrons is found to modify the properties of the dust acoustic solitary potential significantly. The implications of these results for some space and astrophysical dusty plasma systems especially in planetary ring and cometary tails, are briefly mentioned.
