The book Introduction to Plasma Physics by Shukla and Mamun deals with various aspects of collective processes in dusty plasmas. The first introductory chapters review dust charging and the forces on…
Electrostatic solitary structures in non‐thermal plasmas
- R. A. Cairns, A. Mamum, P. Shukla
- Physics
- 15 October 1995
Solitary electrostatic structures involving density depletions have been observed in the upper ionosphere by the Freja satellite [Dovner et al., 1994]. If these are interpreted as ion sound solitons,…
Small Scale Alfvénic Structure in the Aurora
- K. Stasiewicz, P. Bellan, J. Wahlund
- Physics
- 8 November 2000
This paper presents a comprehensive review of dispersive Alfvén waves in space and laboratory plasmas. We start with linear properties of Alfvén waves and show how the inclusion of ion gyroradius,…
Dust ion-acoustic wave
The existence of a new low-frequency electrostatic wave in an unmagnetized collisionless dusty plasma is pointed out.
Observation of Ion-Acoustic Shocks in a Dusty Plasma
- Y. Nakamura, H. Bailung, P. Shukla
- Physics
- 23 August 1999
Linear and nonlinear dust ion-acoustic waves are studied experimentally in a homogeneous unmagnetized dusty plasma. In the linear regime, the phase velocity of the wave increases and the wave suffers…
Nonlinear collective effects in photon-photon and photon-plasma interactions
- M. Marklund, P. Shukla
- Physics
- 14 February 2006
Strong-field effects in laboratory and astrophysical plasmas and high intensity laser and cavity systems are considered, related to quantum electrodynamical (QED) photon-photon scattering. Current…
Nonlinear aspects of quantum plasma physics
- P. Shukla, B. Eliasson
- Physics
- 22 June 2009
Dense quantum plasmas are ubiquitous in planetary interiors and in compact astrophysical objects (e.g., the interior of white dwarf stars, in magnetars, etc.), in semiconductors and micromechanical…
Solitary waves in an ultrarelativistic degenerate dense plasma
- Abdullah Al Mamun, P. Shukla
- Physics
- 20 October 2010
Solitary waves in an ultrarelativistic degenerate dense plasma have been investigated by the reductive perturbation method. The modified Korteweg–de Vries equation has been derived and its numerical…
Solitary potentials in cometary dusty plasmas
- Abdullah Al Mamun, P. Shukla
- Physics
- 1 September 2002
Recent observations reveal that plasmas in cometary tails contain charged dust grains of positive and negative polarities. Our objective here is to show that such a two‐component dusty plasma…
