Abstract

The modulational instability (MI) of dust-acoustic wave (DAW) in an unmagnetized dusty plasma including dust, ions, and electrons is studied. Electrons are kappa-distributed, ions follow a Maxwellian distribution, and negatively charged dust particles display dynamic behavior. A nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) is generated using the Krylov–Bogoliubov–Mitropolsky approach to explore MI. Using the essential physical characteristics, the steady and unstable portions of the modulated wave packets are properly characterized. The impact of polarization force, suprathermal index (κ), effective temperature of electron to ion temperature ratios, and other physical factors in stable and unstable DAW zones is numerically studied. In unstable zones, unpredictable amplitude perturbations cause freak/rogue waves for which the essential studies on the localized solutions of the NLSE are done extensively.
