Electrostatic solitary waves and double layers are explored in a homogeneous, collisionless, and magnetized three-component plasma composed of hot protons, hot heavier ions (alpha particles, He++), and suprathermal electrons with kappa distribution. The Sagdeev pseudopotential technique is used to study the arbitrary amplitude ion-acoustic solitons and double layers. The effect of various parameters such as the number density of ions, ni0; the spectral index, κ; the Mach numbers, M; and the temperature ratio of ion to the electron σi on the evolution of ion-acoustic solitary waves as well as their existence domains is studied. The transition in the existence domain for slow-ion acoustic solitons from negative solitons/double layers to positive solitons/double layers is found to occur with a variation of the heavier ion temperature. It is observed that the width of the negative potential solitons increases as the amplitude increases, whereas for the positive potential solitons, the width decreases as the a...
