Descriptions
The characteristics of dispersion of ion acoustic waves in hydrogen plasmas (a multi-ion plasma) are investigated theoretically. The dispersion relations, especially the phase velocity, are significantly affected by the addition of H^- ions. It would demonstrate the usefulness of measuring the dispersion relation of the ion acoustic wave for monitoring the ion species ratio.
