On the Anomalous Diffusion in Nonisothermal plasma

In nonisothermal plasma at temperature T_e>> T_i diffusion plays decisive role at conditions of smooth inhomogeneity when the inhomogeneity size is larger than the Debye radius by more than {T_e/T_i}^1/2 times. When the inhomogeneity is rather abrupt and the condition is violated, then during the spreading process the Maxwellian relaxation of ion charges becomes significant. Here, we consider these two phenomena together and refer to the anomalous character of diffusion, i.e. anomalous diffusion.
