Description
The authors present a model of double layer formation in ion acoustic turbulence excited by drifting electrons. It is found, by means of particle simulations, than when the electron drift velocity exceeds 0.6 vsub(te), a negative potential ion acoustic solitary wave first grows until its amplitude reaches to ephi approximately -Tsub(e) and subsequent reflection of electrons leads to formation of a double layer. The mechanism of the growth of the negative ion acoustic solitary wave is investigated analytically. (Auth.)
