Abstract
The comparative analysis of the results of experimental investigations of the processes of formation, interaction and dynamics of vortex structures in pure electron and gas-discharge electron nonneutral plasmas taking place for the period of time much less than the electron-neutral collision time has been given. The general processes of formation and behaviour of vortex structures in these two plasmas were considered. It is shown that the existing difference in behaviour of vortex structures is caused by different initial states of nonneutral electron plasmas. The significant role of vortex structures in the processes taking place in nonneutral electron plasma is discussed.
