- Abstract
Experimental data on the nonlinear dynamics of a plasma torch generated by a laser pulse of large width acting upon a graphite target are presented and discussed. The mushroom shape of the luminous region and the duration of emission observed in experiment are explained by the development of the Richtmyer– Meshkov instability at the carbon plasma–air interface and by the formation of nanoparticles in the plasma expanding into the buffer gas. © 2003 MAIK “Nauka / Interperiodica”.
