Preface
Plasma enjoys an important role in a wide variety of industrial processes, including material processing;
environmental control; electronic chip manufacturing; light sources; bio-medicine; and space propulsion. It is
also central to understanding most of the universe outside the Earth. As such, the focus of this book is to
provide a thorough introduction to the subject and to be a valued reference that serves engineers and
scientists as well as students. Plasma is not an elementary subject and the reader is expected to have the
normal engineering background in thermodynamics, chemistry, physics, and fluid mechanics upon which to
build an understanding of this subject.
This text has been organized into two parts. Part I addresses the basic physics of plasma. Chapter 2 examines
the elementary processes of charge species in plasma and Chapter 3 provides a thorough introduction to the
elementary processes of excited molecules and atoms in plasmas. Chapter 4 and Chapter 5 examine the
kinetics of charged/excited particles and Chapter 6 gives a thorough introduction to the electrostatics,
electrodynamics, and fluid mechanics of plasma.
Part II addresses the physics and engineering of electric discharges, specifically examining glow and arc
discharges (Chapter 7 and Chapter 8); cold atmospheric pressure discharges typically associated with corona,
dielectric barrier, and spark discharges (Chapter 9); plasma created in high-frequency electromagnetic fields
characterized by radio-frequency, microwave, and optical discharges (Chapter 10); and discharges in aerosols
and dusty plasmas (Chapter 11). The second part of Chapter 12 concludes with discussions on electron beam
plasmas. The authors have drawn upon extensive work in the Russian literature in addition to the more
accessible results from the West. We believe that this will add an important dimension to development of this
subject.
This text is adaptable to a wide range of needs. The material has been taught to graduate and senior-level
students from most engineering disciplines and physics. For the latter, it can be packaged to focus on the
basic physics of plasma with only selections from discharge applications. For graduate courses, a faster pace

can be set that covers Part I and Part II. Presently, the text is used for a plasma engineering course sequence
(Plasma I, Plasma II) at Drexel University.
