Saberian and Esfandyari-Kalejahi [Phys. Rev. E 87, 053112 (2013)10.1103/PhysRevE.87.053112] have discussed Langmuir oscillations in a q-nonextensive electron-positron plasma. However, some of the results obtained and the conclusions drawn in this paper are not appropriate. In Fig. 3 of the above mentioned paper, the authors have claimed that for certain values of nonextensivity parameter q the imaginary part of the frequency becomes positive, resulting in unstable oscillations. In this Comment we shall discuss the fact that the Landau damping rate of Langmuir oscillations in a q-nonextensive electron-positron plasma is negative and results in damped oscillations. We hope that this Comment will be helpful in providing a better picture of Langmuir oscillations in nonextensive electron-positron plasma.
萨伯里安和埃斯凡迪亚里-卡莱加希[Phys. Rev. E 87, 053112 (2013)10.1103/PhysRevE.87.053112]讨论了 q-非广延电子-正电子等离子体中的朗缪尔振荡。然而,本文得到的一些结果和得出的结论并不恰当。在上述论文的图 3 中,作者声称对于某些非广延参数 q 的值,频率的虚部变为正,导致不稳定的振荡。在这篇评论中,我们将讨论这样一个事实,即在 q-非广延电子-正电子等离子体中朗缪尔振荡的朗道阻尼率为负,导致阻尼振荡。我们希望这篇评论有助于更清楚地了解非广延电子-正电子等离子体中的朗缪尔振荡。
