A plasma expansion into vacuum and the resultant ion acceleration are studied analytically and numerically.The expansion of an initially uniform spherical plasma (consisting of a nanocluster or microdroplet) with radius Ru0 and electron density nu0 is driven by the explosion of hot electrons having an initial temperature Teo.A self-similar solution describes the nonrelativistic expansion of a finite plasma mass with a full account of charge separation effects.
