Amplitude modulation of three-dimensional low-frequency solitary waves in a magnetized dusty superthermal plasma

Authors

Abstract

AbstractThe amplitude modulation of three-dimensional (3D) dust ion-acoustic wave (DIAW) packets is studied in a collisionless magnetized plasma with inertial positive ions, superthermal electrons and negatively charged immobile dust grains. By using the reductive perturbation technique, a 3D-nonlinear Schrödinger equation is derived, which governs the slow modulation of DIAW packets. The latter are found to be stable in the low-frequency (ωomega _{ ext {c}}$$end{document}, and the modulational instability is related to the modulational obliqueness (θ)documentclass[12pt]{minimal} usepackage{amsmath} usepackage{wasysym} usepackage{amsfonts} usepackage{amssymb} usepackage{amsbsy} usepackage{mathrsfs} usepackage{upgreek} setlength{oddsidemargin}{-69pt} egin{document}$$( heta )$$end{document}.
