Dust-acoustic envelope solitons and rogue waves in an electron depleted plasma

Abstract: Theoretical investigation of the nonlinear propagation and modulational instability (MI) of the dust acoustic (DA) waves (DAWs) in an unmagnetized electron depleted dusty plasma (containing opposite polarity warm dust grains and non-extensive positive ions) has been made by deriving a nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation with the help of perturbation method. Two types of mode, namely, fast and slow DA modes, have been found. The criteria for the formation of bright and dark envelope solitons as well as the first-order and second-order rogue waves have been observed. The effects of various dusty plasma parameters (viz., dust mass, dust charge, dust and ion number densities, etc.) on the MI of DAWs have been identified. It is found that these dusty plasma parameters significantly modify the basic features of the DAWs. The applications of the results obtained from this theoretical investigation in different regions of space, viz., magnetosphere of Jupiter, upper mesosphere, Saturn's F-ring, and cometary tail, etc.
