摘要
The collisionless adiabatic expansion into vacuum of spherical plasma targets (clusters) composed of cold single- or multispecies ions and hot electrons is studied kinetically by numerical solving of the nonrelativistic equations of motion of plasma particles in the self-consistent electrostatic field. The expansion dynamics for the whole range of electron temperatures from much less than to much higher than the cluster Coulomb energy is described for various initial plasma density profiles and cluster structures. The explosion of two ion species heterogeneous (layered) and homogeneously mixed targets is studied in detail for the wide range of light ion concentration and kinematic parameter.
