Abstract

Nonlinear equations which govern the dynamics of low-frequency (ω ⪡ ωci, where ω is the perturbation frequency of the wave and ωci is the ion gyro-frequency), ion-temperature-gradient-driven modes in the presence of equilibrium density, temperature and magnetic field gradients are derived. New set of nonlinear equations are derived. In the nonlinear case, new types of solutions in the form of dipolar vortices and vortex streets are found to exist in dense quantum plasma. These structures are found to be formed on very short spatial scales.
