Klappentext
Plasma engineering applies the unique properties of plasmas (ionized gases) to improve processes and performance over many fields such as materials processing, spacecraft propulsion, and nanofabrication. This textbook covers the fundamentals of plasma physics at a level suitable for an upper level undergraduate or graduate student, then goes on to provide the widest variety of applications of any text on the market, spanning the areas of aerospace engineering, nanotechnology, and nano-bioengineering.

Zusammenfassung

"This is a very well written, accessible book on a usually very mathematically intensive subject.The text could be used for a graduate class in physics or material science.Professionals working in related plasma science fields would also find this book useful as an up-to-date source on the latest developments in plasma arc theory and related applications." --IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, May/June 2014
