Ion plasma waves induced by frustrated Debye shielding
نویسندگان
چکیده
The oscillation of electrons, in a sufficiently intense pump wave, frustrates Debye shielding in the direction of the oscillation. One finds that such oscillating electrons cannot shield charge fluctuations over distances smaller than the distance they sample in a plasma period. One consequence is that the frequency of ion waves can be increased from the ion acoustic frequency to the ion plasma frequency in the presence of large enough oscillations. This may explain a number of observations in laser experiments. More generally, any phenomenon involving Debye shielding will be altered by an intense pump wave. © 2002 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1425839#

Dynamic and Debye shielding and antishielding in magnetized, collisionless plasmas.
While shielding in collisional, strongly magnetized (one-dimensional) plasmas obeys the standard Debye result, shielding in collisionless, immobile ion plasmas is far more complex than commonly believed. In some circumstances, the plasma will antishield a positive test charge; i.e., the plasma becomes more positive in the neighborhood of a positive test charge. When shielding does occur, it res...
متن کاملPlasma Physics and Numerical Simulations
Plasma is a partially or fully ionized gas. Ionized gas contains free electrons and ions which carry electric charges. Thus, plasma is subject to electromagnetic forces and can react to external electric and magnetic fields. Moreover, since plasma contains free charge carriers, their relative motion can also set internal electric and magnetic fields, which in turn also influence their dynamics....
متن کاملExperimental study of nonlinear solitary waves in two-dimensional dusty plasma
The excitation and propagation of solitary waves is studied experimentally in a two-dimensional strongly coupled dusty complex plasma. A single layer with 5000 microspheres 8 m diam was suspended in an argon plasma with a neutral gas pressure of 3.0 mTorr. The measured Debye shielding parameter was 1.6, where =a / is the ratio of the lattice constant a to the Debye length . Nonlinear, planar lo...

Based on quantum hydrodynamics theory (QHD), the propagation of nonlinear quantum dust-ion acoustic (QDIA) solitary waves in a collision-less, unmagnetized four component quantum plasma consisting of electrons, positrons, ions and stationary negatively charged dust grains with dust charge variation is investigated using reductive perturbation method. The charging current to the dust grains ca...
متن کاملLinear and Nonlinear Dust Acoustic Waves in Quantum Dusty Electron-Positron-Ion Plasma
The behavior of linear and nonlinear dust acoustic waves (DAWs) in an unmagnetized plasma including inertialess electrons and positrons, ions, and mobile positive/negative dust grains are studied. Reductive perturbation method is employed for small and finite amplitude DAWs. To investigate the solitary waves, the Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation is derived and the solution is presented. B...
