Abstract

The Earth's magnetosphere's modulational amplitude dust-ion-acoustic waves are studied. When the moon passes through the Earth's magnetotail, its dust grains may interact, causing these waves. The theoretical plasma model for this study includes positive ionospheric ion fluids, isothermal electrons, and fluid-negative dust grains on the moon. A perturbation technique derived the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, which exhibited dispersion and nonlinear effects. The nonlinear and dispersion term coefficients' polarity may predict stable and unstable pulse domains. A numerical study was performed to identify unstable pulse domains and their connections with bright and rogue unstable modes. The effects of critical plasma conditions on these pulses' basic features have been studied. This study showed that increasing the ratio of ions to electrons temperature and density reduces system nonlinearity. Consequently, shorter unstable pulses are formed. Amplification of plasma unstable waves results in an increase in their intensity and energy, potentially impacting any device traveling through the area of impact.
