Ion acoustic wave
In plasma physics, an ion acoustic wave is one type of longitudinal oscillation of the ions and electrons in a plasma, much like acoustic waves traveling in neutral gas. However, because the waves propagate through positively charged ions, ion acoustic waves can interact with their electromagnetic fields, as well as simple collisions. In plasmas, ion acoustic waves are frequently referred to as acoustic waves or even just sound waves. They commonly govern the evolution of mass density, for instance due to pressure gradients, on time scales longer than the frequency corresponding to the relevant length scale. Ion acoustic waves can occur in an unmagnetized plasma or in a magnetized plasma parallel to the magnetic field. For a single ion species plasma and in the long wavelength limit, the waves are dispersionless (\omega=v_sk) with a speed given by (see derivation below)
:v_s = \sqrtT_e+\gamma_K_T_i}}
where K_ is Boltzmann's constant, M is the mass of the ion, Z is its charge, T_e is the temperature of the electrons and T_i is the temperature of the ions. Normally γe is taken to be unity, on the grounds that the thermal conductivity of electrons is large enough to keep them isothermal on the time scale of ion acoustic waves, and γi is taken to be 3, corresponding to one-dimensional motion. In collisionless plasmas, the electrons are often much hotter than the ions, in which case the second term in the numerator can be ignored.
== Derivation ==
We derive the ion acoustic wave dispersion relation for a linearized fluid description of a plasma with N ion species. A subscript 0 denotes constant equilibrium quantities, and 1 denotes first-order perturbations. We assume the pressure perturbations for each species (electrons and ions) are a Polytropic_process, namely p_ = \gamma_s T_ n_ for species s. To justify this assumption and determine the value of \gamma_s, one must use a kinetic treatment that solves for the species distribution functions in velocity space.
Using the ion continuity equation, the ion momentum equation becomes
:(-m_i\partial_+\gamma_iT_i\nabla^2)n_ = Z_ien_\nabla\cdot\vec E
We relate the electric field \vec E_1 to the electron density by the electron momentum equation:
:n_m_e\partial_t\vec v_ = -n_e\vec E_1 - \gamma_eT_e\nabla n_
We now neglect the left-hand side, which is due to electron inertia. This is valid for waves with frequencies much less than the electron plasma frequency. The resulting electric field is
:\vec E_1 = - \nabla n_
Since we have already solved for the electric field, we cannot also find it from Poisson's equation. The ion momentum equation now relates n_ for each species to n_:
:(-m_i\partial_+\gamma_iT_i\nabla^2)n_ = -\gamma_e T_e \nabla^2 n_
We arrive at a dispersion relation via Poisson's equation:
: \nabla\cdot\vec E = \left(\sum_^N n_Z_i - n_ \right ) + \left(\sum_^N n_Z_i - n_ \right )
The first bracketed term on the right is zero by assumption (charge-neutral equilibrium). We substitute for the electric field and rearrange to find
: (1-\gamma_e \lambda_^2\nabla^2)n_ = \sum_^N Z_in_ .
\lambda_^2 \equiv \epsilon_0T_e/(n_e^2) defines the electron Debye length. The second term on the left arises from the \nabla\cdot\vec E term, and reflects the degree to which the perturbation is not charge-neutral. If k\lambda_ is small we may drop this term. This approximation is sometimes called the plasma approximation.
We now work in Fourier space, and find
: n_ = \gamma_eT_eZ_i } ()^ n_
v_s=\omega/k is the wave phase velocity. Substituting this into Poisson's equation gives us an expression where each term is proportional to n_. To find the dispersion relation for natural modes, we look for solutions for n_ nonzero and find:
n_=f_in_ where n_=\Sigma_i n_, and \bar Z = \Sigma_i Z_if_i . A unitless version of this equation is
: \sum_^N = 1+\gamma_e k^2\lambda_^2
with A_i=m_i/m_u, m_u is the atomic mass unit, u^2=m_uv_s^2/T_e, and
: F_i = , \quad \tau_i =
If k\lambda_ is small (the plasma approximation), we can neglect the second term on the right-hand side, and the wave is dispersionless \omega = v_sk with v_s independent of k.
