The Electrodynamic Mechanism of Collisionless Multicomponent Plasma Expansion in Vacuum Discharges: From Estimates to Kinetic Theory

This paper is devoted to the study of collisionless multicomponent plasma expansion in vacuum discharges. Based on the fundamental principles of physical kinetics formulated for vacuum discharge plasma, an answer is given to the following question: What is the main mechanism of cathode plasma transp...
