  ABSTRACT: The one-dimensional quantum hydrodynamic (QHD) model for a three-specie quantum plasma is used to study the quantum counterpart of the well known dust ion-acoustic wave (DIAW). It is found that owing to the quantum effects, the dynamics of small but finite amplitude quantum dust ion-acoustic waves (QDIA) is governed by a deformed Korteweg-de Vries equation (dK-dV). The latter admits compressive as well as rarefactive stationary QDIA solitary wave solution. In the fully quantum case, the QDIA soliton experiences a spreading which becomes more significant as electron depletion is enhanced.
