Abstract
Abstract. The dynamics of ion holes (IHs) in plasmas where electrons follow the regularized Kappa distribution (RKD) and ions follow the Maxwellian distribution (MD) are investigated based on the Bernstein-Greene-Kruskal (BGK) method. The results show that the depth of the IHs, the allowed combination of width and amplitude to support physically plausible IHs equilibrium depend on the spectral index κe and cut-off parameter α of the distribution function. That is, with increasing values of the spectral index κe and cut-off parameter α, the IHs formed become deeper and allow a larger permissible region of width and amplitude. In contrast, with decreasing values of the spectral index κe and cut-off parameter α, the IHs formed become shallower and have a smaller allowed range of width and amplitude. The present work may contribute to the comprehension of the nonlinear structures in plasmas system where non-thermal particles are found.
期刊介绍:
Nonlinear Processes in Geophysics (NPG) is an international, inter-/trans-disciplinary, non-profit journal devoted to breaking the deadlocks often faced by standard approaches in Earth and space sciences. It therefore solicits disruptive and innovative concepts and methodologies, as well as original applications of these to address the ubiquitous complexity in geoscience systems, and in interacting social and biological systems. Such systems are nonlinear, with responses strongly non-proportional to perturbations, and show an associated extreme variability across scales.
