Theory of Gas Discharge Plasma

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents the theory of gas discharge plasmas in a didactical way. It explains the processes in gas discharge plasmas. A gas discharge plasma is an ionized gas which is supported by an external electric field. Therefore its parameters are determined by processes in it. The properties of a gas discharge plasma depend on its gas component, types of external fields, their geometry and regimes of gas discharge. Fundamentals of a gas discharge plasma include elementary, radiative and transport processes which are included in its kinetics influence. They are represented in this book together with the analysis of simple gas discharges. These general principles are applied to stationary gas discharge plasmas of helium and argon. The analysis of such plasmas under certain conditions is theoretically determined by numerical plasma parameters for given regimes and conditions.

Autorenporträt

V.P. Krainov was born in Moscow in 1938. In 1962 he obtained a Master of Science in the field of theoretical nuclear physics and went on to complete his Doctor of Phys. Mat. Science in 1982. He became a professor of physics in 1986. Between 1963 and 1971 he worked as a scientist at the Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy in Moscow and was a professor at the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute from 1971 to 1992. Since then he has been a professor at Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology. Throughout his career his research has focused primarily on the theory of atomic, molecular, plasma and nuclear physics. He is the author of 27 books and about 380 papers. Boris Smirnov was born in 1938 in Moscow. In 1962 he graduated from Moscow's Engineering-Physical Institute in theoretical nuclear physics and obtained his Doctor of Phys. Mat. Science in 1968. He became a professor of physics in 1970. Between 1962 and 1982 he was Head of Laboratory at Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy (Moscow), then from 1982 to 1986 Head of Laboratory at Institute of Thermophysics (Novosibirsk) and from 1986 Head of Laboratory and Head of Department and, currently, Principal Scientist at the Joint Institute for High Temperatures of the Russian Academy of Science. B.M. Smirnov was a member of the editorial board of several journals of various publishers. He was a professor at the Moscow Power Institute, Novosibirsk, State University and the Moscow Institute of Science and Technology, and is a laureate of the National Prize of Russia. His research focusses on theoretical physics, atomic, molecular, cluster, plasma and chemical physics. He is the author of 53 books and about 500 papers.
