Gas discharges and non-equilibrium low-temperature plasmas form the basis for most plasma technologies. This book introduces engineering and science students to the basic underlying physics and chemistry concepts that form the foundation of plasma science and engineering.
Graduate students and young researchers in plasma science and engineering in physics, chemistry, chemical engineering, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering.
