Abstract We study the existence of stable axially and spherically symmetric plasma structures on the basis of the new nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) accounting for non-local electron nonlinearities. The numerical solutions of NLSE having the form of spatial solitions are obtained and their stability is analyzed. We discuss the possible application of the obtained results to the theoretical description of natural plasmoids in the atmosphere.

Stable Langmuir solitons in plasma with diatomic ions
Abstract. We study stable axially and spherically symmetric spatial solitons in plasma with diatomic ions. The stability of a soliton against collapse is provided by the interaction of induced…

We consider the effective interaction between electrons owing to the exchange of virtual acoustic waves in a low-temperature plasma. Electrons are supposed to participate in rapid radial…
Stable spatial Langmuir solitons as a model of long-lived atmospheric plasma structures
I study stable spatial Langmuir solitons in plasma based on nonlinear radial oscillations of charged particles. I discuss two situations when a Langmuir soliton can be stable. In the former case the…

Nonlinear oscillations in a warm plasma.
Nonlinear electron plasma oscillations in a warm plasma are studied by use of Lagrangean coordinates. Without recourse to amplitude expansion, the electron density is obtained as an explicit function…
