Abstract

A nonlinear treatment is given for MHD waves that propagate parallel to the external magnetic field in warm multi-species plasmas with anisotropic pressures and different equilibrium drifts. Both the wave electric and magnetic fields obey a derivative nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Soliton solutions are discussed, in particular for plasmas with two ion species.
