Abstract

Formation of large-amplitude double layers in a dusty plasma whose constituents are electrons, ions, warm dust grains and positive ion beam are studied using Sagdeev’s pseudopotential technique. Existence of double layers is investigated. It is found that both the temperature of dust particles and ion beam temperature play significant roles in determining the region of the existence of double layers.
