Abstract

We have investigated the dynamics of propagation of electrostatic solitary waves in a plasma consisting of charged dust particles, negative and positive ions and superthermal (kappa) electrons. Using Sagdeev potential method, the energy-balance like equation is derived to study the role of dust concentration, negative ion concentration, as well as of superthermality on solitary structures.
