The interaction of high-intensity laser pulses with overdense plasmas is studied by three-dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. Self-generated magnetic fields are observed in the plasma target owing to Weibel-type instability. The growth rates of the self-generated magnetic field in our simulation are in good agreement with the results of our theoretical calculations.
