Abstract It is shown that the rarefactive-type double layer structures exist in ultradense electron-positron plasma. For this purpose, an extended Korteweg de Vries equation is derived and solved analytically in low amplitude limit by employing the appropriate fluid equations. Strong influence of quantum degeneracy pressure of electrons and positrons, quantum diffraction effects and concentration of background positive ions on double layer is noticed. It is also pointed out that the amplitude and steepness of double layer increases with increase in ion concentration or ion charge number. The results are examined numerically for some interesting cases of dense plasmas with illustrations.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
