摘要：
Some properties of small-amplitude ion-acoustic solitons in a plasma consisting of nondrifting electrons and drifting ions are investigated. Electron inertia effects are shown to be considerably more important than relativistic effects. It is also shown that ion-acoustic soliton solutions exist only if the ion drift velocity is less than the electron thermal velocity.
