Radiation by the atoms of a resonant medium is a cooperative process in which the medium participates as a whole. In two previous papers \cite{PG00,GP00}, we treated this problem for the case of a medium having slab geometry, which, under…
In a uniform radio-frequency (RF) plasma between a large electrode pair, the addition of an axial magnetic field induces diverse longitudinal filaments. To reveal its pattern dynamics, we conduct two-dimensional (2D) Particle-In-Cell (PIC)…

We present a mesoscopic model for reactive shock waves, which extends a previous model proposed in [G. Stoltz, Europhys. Lett. 76 (2006), 849]. A complex molecule (or a group of molecules) is replaced by a single mesoparticle, evolving…
Collective effects, such as waves and instabilities, are integral to our understanding of most plasma phenomena. We have been able to study these in ultracold neutral plasmas by shaping the initial density distribution through spatial…
