Abstract

A theoretical investigation is carried out to analyse the propagation of ion acoustic (IA) waves in a magnetized bi-ion plasma having two populations of fluid ions and kappa-distributed electrons. The propagation properties of all possible modes (in the linear regime) are investigated. The nonlinear evolution of the IA solitary waves is governed by a Korteweg-de Vries (KdV)-like equation. The influence of obliqueness, magnitude of the magnetic field, ion polarity and electron superthermality on the IA waves is then examined. Our findings should aid in understanding the nonlinear electrostatic excitations that may propagate in spatial magnetized plasmas.
