Description:
This book provides a balanced and thorough treatment of the core principles, novel technology and diagnostics, and state-of-the-art applications of low temperature plasmas. It explores related phenomena, such as plasma bullets, discharge-mode transition of atmospheric pressure plasmas, and self-organization of microdischarges, and describes relevant technology and diagnostics, including nanosecond pulsed discharge, cavity ringdown spectroscopy, and laser-induced fluorescence measurement. The authors also discuss how low temperature plasmas are used in the synthesis of nanomaterials, environmental applications, the treatment of biomaterials, and plasma medicine.
Review Quotes:
"This book provides an excellent review of the fundamentals of low temperature plasmas so that those new to this field can get a good understanding as well as learn about recent applications. Students or active professionals working in the area of plasma processing will appreciate the technical breadth, the well-written descriptions, and the abundance of data, graphs, and illustrations that make this book well worth owning."
