An accessible introduction to the fundamentals of plasma science and its applications

In Plasma Science and Technology: Lectures in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Engineering, distinguished researcher Dr. Alexander Fridman delivers a comprehensive introduction to plasma technology, including fulsome descriptions of the fundamentals of plasmas and discharges. The author discusses a wide variety of practical applications of the technology to medicine, energy, catalysis, coatings, and more, emphasizing engineering and science fundamentals.

Offering readers illuminating problems and concept questions to support understanding and self-study, the book also details organic and inorganic applications of plasma technologies, demonstrating its use in nature, in the lab, and in both novel and well-known applications. Readers will also find:

• A thorough introduction to the kinetics of excited atoms and molecules
• Comprehensive explorations of non-equilibrium atmospheric pressure cold discharges
• Practical discussions of plasma processing in microelectronics and other micro-technologies
• Expert treatments of plasma in environmental control technologies, including the cleaning of air, exhaust gases, water, and soil

Perfect for students of chemical engineering, physics, and chemistry, Plasma Science and Technology will also benefit professionals working in these fields who seek a contemporary refresher in the fundamentals of plasma science and its applications.
