There are also some significant additions, many of which relate to clusters, while other enlarged sections include plasmas in the atmosphere and their applications. \u003cbr\u003e In each case, the emphasis is on a clear and unified understanding of the basic physics that underlies all plasma phenomena. Thus, there are chapters on plasma behavior from the viewpoint of atomic and molecular physics, as well as on the macroscopic phenomena involved in physical kinetics of plasmas and the transport of radiation and of charged particles within plasmas. With this grounding in the fundamental physics of plasmas, the notoriously difficult subjects of nonlinear phenomena and of instabilities in plasmas can then be treated with comprehensive clarity.\u003cbr\u003e The work is rounded off with appendices containing information and data of great importance and relevance that are not easily found in other books.\u003cbr\u003e Valuable reading for graduate and PhD physics students, and a reference for researchers in low-temperature ionized gases-plasma processing, edge region fusion plasma physics, and atmospheric plasmas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wiley-VCH\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2011-12-19\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9783527410859\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 488\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wiley-VCH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44379755217036,"sku":"9783527410859","price":159.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783527410859_acb274a3-cf64-4f49-87cd-b7f3da299e16.jpg?v=1768919014","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783527410859","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
