Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the properties of the dust-acoustic solitary waves in a complex magnetoplasma made up of negatively charged moving dust grains in the lower ionospheric region and inertialess electrons and ions obeying Maxwell and kappa distributions, respectively. In this context, the reductive perturbation technique is carried out to obtain the Zakharov-Kuznetsov (ZK) equation within the given framework. The obtained evolution equation, i.e., ZK equation is transformed to a planar dynamical system for studying the qualitative behavior of the solitary waves. The impact of important physical parameters, such as the dust number density, ion concentration, ion temperature, superthermality, and the background magnetic field, on the profile of the nonlinear structures is numerically investigated. The findings may be utilized to comprehend the low-frequency irregularities that are detected in the lower ionosphere.
