Clusters in Expanding Plasma
An analysis is given of processes in a weakly ionized vapor expanding in a space and condensing on ions as nuclei of condensation. Processes including the growth and evaporation of clusters, mutual neutralization of clusters of different charges, and coagulation are considered. Evolution of a laser plasma resulting from irradiation of a copper surface is analyzed. In the end a vapor of the plasma is transformed to charged clusters.
