Low Temperature Plasmas

With its strong focus on the links between theory and experiment or technological process, this book presents the latest advances in our understanding of how plasmas behave. New contributions to this second edition cover dusty plasmas, cross-correlation spectroscopy, and atmospheric pressure glow discharges, as well as applications in lighting, microelectronics, polymer surface modification, sterilization, biology and medicine. Straddling the boundaries between physics, chemistry and materials science, this is of interest to a wide community. From the Contents Volume 1: collision processes plasma-surface interactions dusty plasmas plasma diagnostics surface diagnostics plasma sources From the Contents Volume 2: atmosphereic pressure plasmas microplasmas plasma light sources plasma etching plasma surface modification plasma-based sterilization markets for plasma technology From reviews of the first edition: "... it makes a highly valuable contribution to the subject area and will be accessible to scientists and engineers working in the field." - ChemPhysChemHippler, Rainer is the author of 'Low Temperature Plasmas', published 2008 under ISBN 9783527406739 and ISBN 3527406735.
