Electron distribution model in bilayered finite spherical plasmas

Abstract

Generating highly energetic ions using ion acceleration has various applications in medicine and laboratory astrophysics. In 2018, a novel method of accelerating ions, called microbubble implosion, was proposed. This paper utilizes the adiabatic Poisson-Boltzmann equation to investigate the electron density distribution of bilayered hollow spheres. We also examine the electron distribution upon varying the outer layer thickness and filling the cavity. The calculations show that filling the cavity with a low density material produces a similar electron distribution to a uniform finite hollow sphere. Our results imply that ion implosion can occur in all configurations.
