Plasma Modeling: Methods and applications presents and discusses the different approaches that can be adopted for plasma modeling, giving details about theoretical and numerical methods. It describes kinetic models used in plasma investigations, develops the theory of fluid equations and hybrid models, and discusses applications and practical problems across a range of fields.This updated second edition contains over 200 pages of new material, including an extensive new pa...

This is a comprehensive textbook designed for graduate and advanced undergraduate students. Both authors rely on more than 20 years of teaching experience in renowned Physics Engineering courses to write this book addressing the students’ needs.Kinetics and Spectroscopy of Low Temperature Plasmas derives in a full self-consistent way the electron kinetic theory used to describe low temperature plasmas created in the laboratory with an electrical discharge, and presents the main opt...

Flowing Plasmas and Afterglows with Nitrogen for Surface Modifications focuses on N2 microwave flowing plasmas and afterglows in two-photon absorption laser induced fluorescence (TALIF) diagnostics applied to kinetic reactions in flowing afterglows of gas mixtures containing N2 and H2 . It also examines the applications of N2 afterglows in TiO2 surface nitriding and in the sterilization of medical instruments.This book first covers plasma diagnostics, considering electron ...
