The presence of multiple ion species can add additional branches to the IAW dispersion relation and change the Landau damping significantly. Different IAW modes excited by stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) and different SBS behaviors in several typical ignition hohlraum plasmas in the high-temperature and high-density region have been researched by Vlasov-Maxwell simulation. The slow mode in HeH or CH plasmas is the least damped mode and will be excited in SBS, while the fast mode in AuB plasmas is the least damped mode and will be excited in SBS. Due to strong Landau damping, the SBS in H or HeH plasmas is strong convective instability, while the SBS in AuB plasmas is absolute instability due to the weak Landau damping. However, although the SBS in CH plasmas is weak convective instability in the linear theory, the SBS will transform into absolute instability due to decreasing linear Landau damping by particles trapping. These results give a detail research of the IAW modes excitation and the properties of SBS in different species plasmas, thus providing the possibility of controlling SBS by increasing the linear Landau damping of the IAW by changing ion species.
