Zusammenfassung:Propagation characteristics of dust acoustic (DA) solitons in an opposite polarity dusty plasma medium containing inertial positive and negative dust grains and inertialess ions and electrons following Maxwellian distribution have been theoretically investigated by taking the effect of generalized polarization force into consideration. By using the reductive perturbation method, the Korteweg–de Vries equation that governs the nonlinear dust acoustic waves has been derived. It has been found that rarefactive and compressive solitons (solitons associated with negative and positive potentials) propagate in such a dusty plasma medium. The dependence of soliton characteristics on the system parameters has been discussed. It is observed that the basic properties of the DA solitons are significantly modified by the effects of generalized polarization force, ion-to-electron temperature ratio, and positive dust component. The findings of this investigation may be used in understanding the wave propagation in space and laboratory plasmas in which dust of opposite polarity coexists under the polarization force.
