Physics And Applications of Complex Plasmas

This book highlights, in a systematic, insightful, and perceptive way, the fundamental physics and industrial applications of complex plasmas, with emphasis on the conditions relevant to laboratory gas discharges and industrial plasma reactors. It provides a specialized and comprehensive description of the most recent theoretical, experimental, and modeling efforts to understand the unique properties of complex plasma systems involving the stability, dynamics, and self-organization of colloid particles and their associations. Special attention is focused on the physical understanding of up-to-date developments in major technological applications of micron and nanosized particles. Each chapter is presented in a concise and comprehensive manner, with a categorized overview of the underlying physics followed by an in-depth description. Readership: Undergraduate and graduate students, scientists, and researchers in plasma physics, applied physics, soft condensed matter physics, and related areas.Vladimirov, S V is the author of 'Physics And Applications of Complex Plasmas ', published 2005 under ISBN 9781860945724 and ISBN 1860945724.
