Abstract

A nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation is derived to investigate the modulational instability (MI) of ion-acoustic (IA) waves (IAWs) in a double pair plasma system containing adiabatic positive and negative ion fluids along with super-thermal electrons and positrons. The analytical analysis predicts two types of modes, viz. fast (ωf\omega_f) and slow (ωs\omega_s) IA modes. The possible stable and unstable parametric regions for the IAWs in presence of external perturbation can be observed for both ωf\omega_f and ωs\omega_s. The number density of the negative ions and positrons play a vital role in generating the IA rogue waves (IARWs) in the modulationally unstable region. The applications of our present work in astrophysical environments [viz. D-region (H+,O2\rm H^+, O_2^-) and F-region (H+,H\rm H^+, H^-) of the Earth's ionosphere] as well as in laboratory plasmas [viz. pair-ion Fullerene (C+,C\rm C^+, C^-)] are pinpointed.
