Bücher der Reihe Series in Plasma Physics

Describes the occurrence of dusty plasmas in our Solar System, the Earth's mesosphere, and in laboratory discharges. This book illustrates numerous mechanisms for charging dust particles and provides studies of the grain dynamics under the influence of forces that are common in dusty plasma environments.

Describes the general theory of photo acceleration, which allows fluid, kinetic, quantum, and classical electrodynamical approaches to be formulated. This book includes examples from plasma physics, cosmology, fiber optics, mathematical physics, particle accelerator physics, and radiation physics.

Divided into three parts, this work guides the reader to an understanding of the basic concepts in this field of research. It introduces you to the fundamental concepts of simulation. It also explores the mathematics and physics behind the algorithms used, and addresses some of the more complicated simulations in two and three dimensions.

Reviews advances and applications in the generation and maintenance of atmospheric-pressure plasmas. This work covers the advances in atmospheric-pressure plasma source development, diagnostics and characterization, modeling and computational techniques, and an assessment of the status and prospects of atmospheric-pressure air plasma applications.

Anomalous transport is an ever-present phenomenon in astrophysical, geophysical, and laboratory plasmas, and it is a key topic in controlled nuclear fusion research. With the aim of unifying many theoretical models, this book systematically considers anomalous plasma transport theory.

Discusses the physical processes occurring in laser-plasma interactions, including a detailed review of the relevant plasma and laser physics. This book analyzes laser absorption and propagation, electron transport, and the relevant plasma waves.
