Landau damping of dust acoustic waves in the plasma with nonextensive distribution

摘要

The Landau damping of dust acoustic waves propagating in a dusty plasma composed of nonextensive distributed electrons and ions, and Maxwellian distributed dust grains is investigated based on kinetic theory. The dust acoustic waves are found in the range of k~(vd) ω k~(vi) k~(ve), where ~(vα) is the thermal velocity of species α(=i,e,d). The damping rate is shown to be dependent on the nonextensivity parameter q as well as the ratio of ion density to electron. In the limit q→1, the result based on the Maxwellian distribution is recovered. The maximum Landau damping rate is found to be enhanced as the population of the electron density decreases.
