Abstract

Using the Quantum hydrodynamic (QHD) model Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) type solitary excitations of electron-acoustic waves (EAWs) have been examined in a two-electron-populated relativistically degenerate super dense plasma. It is shown that relativistic degeneracy parameter significantly influences the conditions of formation and properties of solitary structures.
