Abstract

The basic features of obliquely propagating dust-ion-acoustic (DIA) solitary waves, and their multi-dimensional instability in a magnetized multi-ion dusty plasma containing hot adiabatic inertia-less electrons, cold positive and negative ions, and negatively charged static dust have been theoretically investigated by the reductive perturbation method, and the small-k perturbation expansion technique. The combined effects of electron adiabaticity, external magnetic field (obliqueness), and negative ions, which are found to significantly modify the basic properties (speed, amplitude, width, and instability) of small but finite-amplitude DIA solitary waves, are explicitly examined. It is also found that the instability criterion and the growth rate are significantly modified by the external magnetic field, the propagation directions of both the nonlinear waves and their perturbation modes, and the presence of negative ions. The implications of our results in space and laboratory dusty plasmas are briefly discussed.
