摘要
Arbitrary amplitude dust-acoustic double-layers (DA-DLs) in a plasma with suprathermal electrons, two-temperature thermal ions, and warm drifting dust grains are investigated. Our results reveal that the spatial patterns of the DA-DLs are affected by the degree of the electron suprathermality. The electron thermalization involves a decrease of the cold ion component density, for the existence of localized DA-DLs. An increase of the dust drift velocity requires a decrease of kappa (the electron spectral index), for the onset of dust-acoustic double-layers. An increase of the Mach number M leads to an increase of the DL amplitude as well as the corresponding electron spectral index for which the DL occurs.
