Elements of Plasma Technology (okładka  twarda)

This book presents some fundamental aspects of plasma technology
that are important for beginners interested to start research in the area of
plasma technology. These include the properties of plasma, methods of plasma
generation and basic plasma diagnostic techniques. It also discusses several
low cost plasma devices, including pulsed plasma sources such as plasma focus,
pulsed capillary discharge, vacuum spark and exploding wire; as well as low
temperature plasmas such as glow discharge and dielectric barrier discharge
which the authors believe may have potential applications in industry. The
treatments are experimental rather than theoretical, although some theoretical
background is provided where appropriate. The principles of operation of these
devices are also reviewed and discussed.
