Abstract

The emergence in SF6-Ar plasma of ion-acoustic solitons with angular profiles or profiles with several maxima has been explained. It has been shown that the cause of these profiles is that the phase trajectories of the solitons of this type in the phase portrait cover one or more separatrices, which in turn can appear only in plasma with a complex chemical composition.
