โฆ Synopsis
The dispersion relation of an ion cyclotron wave propagating through a multicomponent plasma including the effect of ion thermal velocity is analysed and an analytical expression for the group travel time, and the temporal and spatial damping rate is derived. It is shown that the temporal and spatial damping rate increases with temperature and group travel time. The inclusion of thermal effect in group travel time causes a reduction in damping rate. The results are important in the study of the proton whistler propagating through the ionosphere.

We made an attempt to study the propagation of multidimensional ion-acoustic waves in multicomponent plasmas that include negative ions by deriving a Kodomtsev-Petviashvili (K-P) equation. The negative ions, as expected, introduce the precursor on the propagation because of which the need arises to
