Abstract :
Based on quantum hydrodynamics theory (QHD), the propagation of nonlinear quantum
dust-ion acoustic (QDIA) solitary waves in a collisionless, unmagnetized four component
quantum plasma consisting of electrons, positrons, ions and stationary negatively charged
dust grains with dust charge variation is investigated using reductive perturbation method.
The charging current to the dust grains carried by the plasma particle, has been calculated
with the orbit-limited motion approach. The quantum current of electrons and positrons is
obtained by using Fermi-distribution functions. The basic features of QDIA solitary waves
are studied by deriving the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) Equation. It is found that both
rarefactive and compressive type of solitons can exist in the model plasma. Further, the
nonlinear and dispersive coefficients in KdV equation are modified by consideration dust
charge variation effect and Fermi-Dirac distribution function. The present investigations
should be useful for researches on astrophysical plasmas as well as for ultra small microand
nano- electronic devices.
