Abstract

The shock wave structure in a three-component weakly ionized plasma containing fine metal particles (macroparticles) is considered. The particles are ionized due to thermionic emission and the ejected electrons adhere to molecules of the neutral carrier gas assumed to be electronegative. The resulting ion plasma contains charged components with sharply different masses which are differently decelerated in the shock wave. This leads to charge separation and the generation of self-consistent electric fields which in turn affect the motion of the charged components.
