Nonlocal magnetic-field generation in plasmas without density gradients.
Conventional theories of magnetic-field generation by laser pulses in collisional plasmas require the presence of density gradients or anisotropic pressure. Using the first two-dimensional Fokker-Planck code to self-consistently include magnetic fields, we find that magnetic fields can be spontaneou...
