Abstract

The propagation of an electron-acoustic wave in a plasma consisting of two types of ion and two temperature electrons has been investigated in the linear and nonlinear regimes. The presence of the second species of ion modifies the characteristics of the wave. The analysis has been done for both the finite amplitude and the small amplitude case of the electron-acoustic solitary wave. The ion temperature ratio and the electron density ratio rather than the relative ion density are the effective parameters which govern the amplitude of the electron-acoustic soliton.
