Modulated positron-acoustic waves and rogue waves in a magnetized plasma system with nonthermal electrons and positrons

A theoretical and numerical study on amplitude modulated positron-acoustic waves (PAWs) in a magnetized four-component space plasma (containing immobile positive ions, inertial cold positrons, and inertia-less hot electrons and positrons following Cairn’s non-thermal distribution function) has been carried out. The reductive perturbation method have been applied to derive the corresponding nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation, whose the nonlinear and dispersion coefficients Q\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$Q$\end{document} and P\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$P$\end{document} are function of the external magnetic field. The criteria for the occurrence of modulational instability (MI) of PAWs is addressed. It is shown that the plasma parameters contribute to enhance substantially the growth rate and the bandwidth of the MI. It is also found from the analysis of the NLS equation that the plasma system under assumption supports the existence of Peregrine solitons and super-rogue waves, whose amplitude are significantly modified by the effects of the external magnetic field, the density ratio of hot positron and cold positron, the density ratio of electron and cold positron, and the non-thermal parameter. Moreover, the various types of localized positron-acoustic excitations exist in the form of bright envelope soliton and dark envelope soliton. It is found that the localized structures’s properties (width and amplitude) are influenced by the presence of magnetic field. The relevance of present study can help researchers to explain the various localized structures and the basic features of PAWs in a magnetized plasmas environments.
