Overview
- Different from most introductory texts, modern fields of plasma physics, such as low-temperature plasmas, plasma discharges and plasma diagnostics are covered
- Emphasis on experimental point of view and laboratory applications
- Gives introduction to forefront research on complex plasmas, like non-neutral or dusty plasmas
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

Reviews
From the reviews:
“Plasma Physics offers a broad and modern introduction to the many aspects of plasma science … . A curious student or interested researcher could track down laboratory notes, older monographs, and obscure papers … . with an extensive list of more than 300 references and, in particular, its excellent overview of the various techniques to generate plasma in a laboratory, Plasma Physics is an excellent entree for students into this rapidly growing field. It’s also a useful reference for professional low-temperature plasma researchers.” (Michael Brown, Physics Today, June, 2011)Authors and Affiliations
