Soliton Currents (Review)
F. M. Trukhachev, M. M. Vasiliev, О. Ф. Петров
Abstract
The theoretical and experimental results on plasma currents induced by acoustic-type solitons are generalized. Ion, electron, and dust-acoustic modes in plasma without magnetic field are considered in detail. It is shown that the generation of pulsed plasma currents with a significant direct component is an inherent property of solitons. The basic properties of soliton currents are established.
