A solitary nonlinear surface plasma density wave
Abstract
An analytic approximation for a solitary nonlinear surface plasma wave envelope in the electrostatic limit ( ω≅ ωp/√2) is given. The resulting solitary wave has a somewhat arbitrary shape but must move with a particular velocity parallel to the surface.
