Stable Spatial Langmuir Solitons

Space Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We study localized two- and three-dimensional Langmuir solitons in the framework of model based on generalized nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation that accounts for local and nonlocal contributions to electron-electron nonlinearity. General properties of solitons are investigated analytically and numerically. Evolution of three-dimensional localized wave packets has been simulated numerically. The additional nonlinearities are shown to be able to stabilize both azimuthally symmetric two-dimensional and spherically symmetric three-dimensional Langmuir solitons.
