The relaxed state of a magnetized relativistic hot plasma composed of inertial electrons and positrons having different relativistic temperatures and a fraction of static positive ions is studied. From the steady-state solutions of vortex dynamics equations and the relation for current density, a non-force-free triple Beltrami (TB) relaxed state equation is derived. The TB state is characterized by three scale parameters that consequently provide three different self-organized structures. The analysis of the relaxed state shows that for specific values of generalized helicities, the disparity in relativistic temperature and the existence of a small fraction of static positive ions in pair plasma can transform the nature of scale parameters. Moreover, an analytical solution of the TB state for an axisymmetric cylindrical geometry with an internal conductor configuration demonstrates that due to asymmetries of temperature and density of plasma species, diamagnetic structures can transform into paramagnetic ones and vice versa. The present study will improve our understanding of pair plasmas in trap-based plasma confinement experiments and astrophysical environments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The relaxed state of a magnetized four-component partially ionized dusty (PID) plasma is explored. PID plasma is composed of inertial electrons, positive ions, neutrals, and static negatively charged dust particles. When the neutrals are dragged along with the ions, the steady-state solution of vortex dynamic equations for inertial electron and ion species yields a triple Beltrami relaxed state, which is a linear combination of three single force-free fields and is characterized by three self-organized structures. The impact of plasma parameters such as Beltrami parameters and neutral (degree of ionization) and dust species densities on the nature of the relaxed state is investigated. Furthermore, the role of scale separation and its implication in space plasma are also presented. The present research will aid in elucidating the role of neutral and dust species in space, astrophysical, and laboratory plasmas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
