Abstract:
Nonlinear evolution and propagation characteristics of an ion-acoustic (IA) dipolar vortex are examined in a magnetoplasma that comprises partially degenerate electrons and dynamic ions. The adiabatic ions reduce the quantum magnetohydrodynamic equations to a modified momentum equation. The latter admits a new solution and leads to an evolution equation for the description of a coherent IA dipolar vortex. Numerical analysis reveals that variations in the relevant plasma parameters alter the evolution condition for a stable vortex. The electron exchange-correlation enhances excitation of the vortex as it extends the parametric regime associated with the stable vortex solution. On the contrary, the ion temperature lessens the nonlinear evolution of the vortex. Importantly, a degree of enhancement in the exchange-correlation potential leads to the wave dispersion and-in return-widens the vortex potential spatially. The novel nature of the derived results stresses upon the comprehension of the ordered structures in the compact stars, the magnetic mirrors, the ionosphere, the pinch devices, etc., where thermal corrections significantly impact the waves dynamics.

Magnetic Field due to Moving Charges
Consider a point charge moving with a constant velocity. Like the electric field, the magnetic field at any point is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source point and the field point. However, unlike the electric field, the magnetic field is always perpendicular to the plane containing the line...
