We discuss the nonlinear instability of some class of stationary solutions to the one-dimensional Vlasov-Yukawa system with a mass parameter m. The Vlasov-Yukawa system corresponds to the short-range correction of the repulsive Vlasov-Poisson system arising from plasma physics. We show that the stationary solutions satisfying the Penrose condition are nonlinearly unstable in small mass regime. In a large mass regime, the massiveness of force carrier particles acts as stabilizer in a finite time interval. We present several numerical results to confirm our analytical results.
