DC Discharge

This book contains a selection of high quality papers, discussing the state-of-the-art research in particle science and technology, presented at the UK-China International Particle Technology Forum IV held at Shanghai, China in December 2013. Providing a new, valuable contribution to the literature in the field, it will appeal to material scientists and environmentalists investigating the role of particle science in the environment.

The enlarged new edition of this textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to the basic processes in plasmas and demonstrates that the same fundamental concepts describe cold gas-discharge plasmas, space plasmas, and hot fusion plasmas. Starting from particle drifts in magnetic fields, the principles of magnetic confinement fusion are explained and compared with laser fusion. Collective processes are discussed in terms of plasma waves and instabilities.
