Small amplitude ion-acoustic solitary waves in a four-component magneto- rotating plasma with a modified Cairns-Tsallis distribution

Abstract

Abstract The small amplitude ion-acoustic solitary waves in the magneto-rotating plasma consisting of cold fluid ions, hot positrons, and the two-temperature electrons (cold and hot electrons) are investigated when the electrons obey a modified Cairns-Tsallis distribution. By using the reductive perturbation method, we derive the Korteweg–de Vries equation and the modified Korteweg–de Vries equation and obtain the small amplitude ion-acoustic solitary wave solutions. The dependences of solitary wave solutions on the nonextensive q-parameter, the nonthermal α-parameter and the plasma physical quantities are analyzed numerically. We show the significant effects of the nonextensive q-parameter and the nonthermal α-parameter etc on the ion-acoustic solitary waves.
