3 . Soliton Soliton is a nonlinear structure (bell shaped) which conserves its shape and interacts with surroundings or other solitons as an independent particle. Solitons are robust against perturbations. Soliton was first noticed in the month of August 834 by the Scottish engineer John Scott Russell (88-88), while conducting experiments to determine the most efficient design for canal boats along the Union canal linking Edinburg with Glasgow. In 885, Korteweg and de Vries derived a model equation (known as KdV equation) for the dynamics of nonlinear wave as follows, 3 u u u au b 3 t x x Here a and b are non zero constants, which depends on fluid properties. The KdV equation posses a soliton (or solitray wave) solution. 3

5 Soliton in Plasmas (contd.) Linear waves in v rplasmas are studied by assuming a harmonic wave i( k. ωt ) solution ~ e in the small amplitude limit. When the wave amplitude is sufficiently large the nonlinearities cannot be ignored. Nonlinearities in plasmas enter through Harmonic generation (involving fluid convection), Nonlinear Lorentz force, Ponderomotive force, trapping of the particles in the wave potential etc. Importance in Plasmas The study of soliton is important to understand the particle or energy transport mechanisms in plasmas. 5
6 Nonlinear Plasma Dynamics When wave amplitude grows to such high values that linear perturbation theory cannot be applied to describe the interactions in plasmas. Then instead of applying Fourier analysis, we transform the original set of nonlinear equations, that describe the wave dynamics, into lowest order nonlinear equations (such as KdV equation, Burgers equation and NLS equation) whose properties are well known. For arbitrary amplitude waves, one has to solve the nonlinear differential equations with full nonlinear glory and difficulties. This method has limitations and cannot be used in general and applicable to only some specific problems. Reductive perturbation method is used when one cannot deal the equations with full nonlinearity and weak nonlinearity are assumed in the system. The stretched variables in space and time are defined and slow time variations are induced by the nonlinearity of the system. For example, the KdV equation is obtained for low amplitude nonlinear wave with 6 appropriate scaling of space and time variables.
7 . Brief Introduction of pair-ion Plasmas In usual electron-ion plasmas, asymmetry in collective phenomenon occur due to large difference of mass between electrons and ions. However, pair plasmas (e-p) consists of positively and negatively charged particles of same mass to keep the space, time symmetry because the mobility of equal mass particles is same in the electromagnetic field. Pair plasma consists of positrons and electrons have been produced in laboratory experiments. But the identification of collective modes is very difficult because the annihilation time is short compared with the plasma period. Therefore, attention is concentrated on the stable generation of a pair-ion plasma in laboratory consisting of positive and negative ions with an equal mass for collective modes identification. It has been found that fullerene (C 6 ) can be adopted as an ion source for pair-ion plasma production, based on the fact that interaction of electrons with fullerenes lead to the production of both negative and positive ions. 7
8 A fullerene is any molecule composed entirely of carbon, in the form of a hollow sphere, ellipsoid, or tube. Spherical fullerenes are also called buckyballs, and cylindrical ones are called carbon nano-tubes or buckytubes. The discovery of fullerenes greatly expanded the number of known carbon allotropes, which until recently were limited to graphite, diamond, and amorphous 8 carbon such as soot and charcoal.
9 Production of pair-ion (fullerene) Plasmas Chamber Length6 cm, diameter5.7 cm, B.3 T (solenoid coils), gas pressure x -4 Pa E e - 5 ev (electron beam energy) The production process of pair-ion plasma is divided into three regions: Region I: Consists of electron beam region and fullerene ion production region. Positive ions C 6 are produced by electron impact ionization and low energy electrons are produced in connection with this process. Negative ions C 6 are produced by attachment of these low energy electrons produced during the charging process of positive ions. C 6 e C6 e, 4 ( C6) 5 cm C6 e C, 4 6 σ ( C6) cm σ at ev at 5eV 9

Hatakeyama, PRE 75, 5643 (7)] The temperature of positive ions is found to be different from negative fullerene ions because the charging processes are quite different for both the plasma species.
11 Electrostatic Waves in pair-ion Plasmas W. Ohara, D. Date and H. Hatakeyama [PRL 95,753 (5)], firstly reported the electrostatic waves in paired fullerene-ion plasmas. Three types of electrostatic waves can propagate parallel to the magnetic field in pair-ion plasmas i.e., γt. Ion acoustic wave (IAW) ω C s k, C s (acoustic speed) m. Intermediate frequency wave (IFW) 3. Ion plasma wave (IPW) ω C ω The IFW has the features that group velocity is negative but the phase velocity is positive i.e., the mode resembles as a backward wave. s k p
12 3. Nonlinear Electrostatic Waves in pair-ion Plasmas Model and nonlinear set of equations Consider homogeneous, unmagnetized fullerene (C 6 ) plasma consists of positively and negatively charged ions. The positive and negative ions are considered to be isothermally heated but have different temperatures. Using two fluid theory, the Continuity equations of positive and negative ions are given as n t ( nv ) x () n t ( nv ) x ()
13 Nonlinear Electrostatic Waves in Pair-ion Plasmas (contd.) Momentum equations for positively and negatively charged ions are described as, (where φ is electrostatic potential) i.e., φ Poisson equation gives, 4π e n x Equilibrium is defined as, v v e φ T n v t x m x m n x v t v φ x e v x m m n ( n ) ( ) n n n say T n x φ E x (3) (4) (5) (6) Dispersion relation ( ω VT k ) ( ω VT k ) ωp (7) where V T α Tα m and ω p 4π ne m m m - (m say) 3

Linear analysis of the modes in pair-ion plasmas Case (i) If T T - (T say), then Eq.(7) gives ω ω V k p T which is the usual Langmuir waves in pair-ion unmagnetized plasmas. (8) Case (ii) If T T -, then Eq.(7) gives quartic equation as follows where ( ) ( ) ω V k V k ω ω ω V V k k V V 4 4 T T p p T T T T ω ( V k T VT k ωp) ± Δ { } ( ω ) 4 ω ( ) { } Δ V k V k V V k k V V 4 T T p p T T T T (9) () here (ve) and (-ve) sign gives higher and lower frequency Langmuir waves in pair-ion plasmas. 4

The stretching of independent variables are introduced in the following fashion: ξ ε ( x t), τ ε 3 t where <ε is an expansion parameter characterizing the strength of nonlinearity Now using above relations in normalized set of equations and collecting the lowest order terms of continuity and momentum equations of ions (~ε 3/ ) and Poisson equation (~ ε) gives after some simplification, i.e., ( ) ( μ) or μ () 7
18 Nonlinear Electrostatic Waves in Pair-ion Plasmas (contd.) Now collecting the next higher order terms of continuity and momentum equations of ions (~ε 5/ ) and Poisson equation (~ ε ) and using relation of parameter given in Eq.() after some simplification, we obtain the KdV equation as follows: ( ) ( ) ( ) 3 ( ) Φ AΦ Φ BΦ τ ξ ξ () A B ( 3 )( μ) ( 3 μ) ( ) ( )( μ) ( μ) ( ) 3 3 ( ) ( μ) ( ) ( ) μ (coefficient of nonlinear term) (coefficient of dispersive term) Note: The soliton solution will be formed only when T T - holds. 8

21 Double Layer in Plasmas 5. Double Layers in Pair-ion Plasmas A double layer is a structure in a plasma consists of two parallel layers with opposite electrical charge. The sheets of charge cause a strong electric field and a correspondingly sharp change in voltage (electrical potential) across the double layer. Ions and electrons, which enter the double layer are accelerated, decelerated or reflected by the electric field. In general, double layers (which may be curved rather than flat) separate regions of plasma with quite different characteristics. Mathematical Description of Double Layer in Pair-ion Plasmas For double layers structures, using the stretching for independent variables as follows, 3 ξ ε ( x t),... τ ε t The perturbed quantities are expanded in the powers of ε as defined earlier. Now collecting the higher order terms of continuity and momentum equations of ions (~ε 3 ) and Poisson equation (~ ε 4 ) and using relation of parameter given in Eq.() after some simplification, we obtain the mkdv equation as follows:

Dissipative shocks and solitons in Pair-ion Plasmas Kadomstev-Petviashvili-Burgers (KPB) Equation in PI Plasmas Electrostatic structures are studied in unmagnetized, weakly dissipative PI plasmas in the presence of weak transverse perturbations.

33 7. Conclusion Linear and nonlinear electrostatic waves are studied in unmagnetized pair-ion plasmas. Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation is obtained using reductive perturbation method. Both electrostatic potential hump and dip solitons are obtained in unmagnetized pair-ion plasmas. The electrostatic potential humps are formed, when the temperature of negative ion species in greater than the positive ions, while in reverse temperature conditions potential dips are obtained. Both compressive and rarefactive potential double layers are obtained depending on the ratio between difference in positive and negative ion species. 33
34 7. Conclusion Similarly, both compressive and rarefactive shocks and solitons are obtained from KPB equation depending on the temperature ratio between positive and negative ion species. No electrostatic structures are obtained, when the temperature of both positive and negative ions are same in unmagnetized pair-ion plasmas. 34
