Abstract
The effect of ion motions on the structure of nonlinear stationary electrostatic oscillations of a cold plasma is investigated. A solution is found by means of an expansion in powers of the electron‐to‐ion mass ratio m/M. The frequency of oscillation, which is independent of amplitude for vanishing m/M, turns out to be a decreasing function of the amplitude when the ion motions are included.Keywords
