Abstract
Abstract In the present work, employing a one-dimensional model of a plasma composed of a cold electron fluid, hot electrons obeying a trapped/vortex-like distribution and stationary ions, we study the amplitude modulation of electron-acoustic waves by use of the conventional reductive perturbation method. Employing the field equations with fractional power type of nonlinearity, we obtained the nonlinear Schrödinger equation as the evolution equation of the same order of nonlinearity. Seeking a harmonic wave solution with progressive wave amplitude to the evolution equation it is found that the NLS equation with fractional power assumes envelope type of solitary waves.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
