Large Amplitude Dust-acoustic Solitons in a Plasma Consisting of Super- thermal Electron-positron Pairs and Dust Particulates

The occurrence and propagation of large amplitude dust-acoustic solitary waves (DASWs) are studied in a three-component plasma consisting of negatively charged dust grains and electron-positron pairs by employing a pseudopotential technique. Here, we focus on a superthermal plasma modeled by a -like distribution and consider a finite temperature for dust particulates. It is shown that the solitary waves with negative polarity are allowed in the system and there is a critical value for dust charge Z d above/below which the subsonic/supersonic solitary structures can propagate. In the case of negative fullerene ions, Z d = 1, it is observed that subsonic DASWs can propagate in the plasma. In addition, it is revealed that the propagation of double layers is not possible in this plasma system.
