"Written by some of the world's foremost experts, the articles in this book show how plasma science can be applied to environmental problems, including atmospheric sensing and modification, energy conservation, reduction of air pollution, and processing of ordinary and radioactive wastes. Atmospheric CFC's might be zapped with big lasers. Urban air pollution could be removed by large convection towers built in or near cities. And weapons-grade plutonium can be destroyed with specially designed particle accelerators. Some of the technologies described here are in use already, while others are in the prototype stage, or are speculative approaches deserving of further study." "Contents" Written...
Advances in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics
The purpose of the 1989 NATO ARW was to develop applications, and an improved understanding of the physics for high current emission and conduction observed in hollow cathode-hollow anode switches including the pseudo spark and BLT. New applications include highly emissive cathodes for microwave devices, accelerators and free electron lasers, high power tubes, electron and ion beams, microlithography, accelerators, and other plasma devices. Recent research has produced a new generation of gas-phase plasma switches that are characterized by very high current emission and conduction while operating in a glow mode. These switches include the pseudospark and the BLT, both of which have hollow el...
Examines the foundation of pulse power technology in detail to optimize the technology in modern engineering settings Pulsed power technologies could be an answer to many cutting-edge applications. The challenge is in how to develop this high-power/high-energy technology to fit current market demands of low-energy consuming applications. This book provides a comprehensive look at pulsed power technology and shows how it can be improved upon for the world of today and tomorrow. Foundations of Pulsed Power Technology focuses on the design and construction of the building blocks as well as their optimum assembly for synergetic high performance of the overall pulsed power system. Filled with num...
Plasmaphysik hat sich in den letzen Jahren rapide entwickelt und Einfluss auf verschiedene andere Forschungsgebiete in Physik, Chemie und Astrophysik, aber auch in der industriellen Praxis gewonnen. An all jene, die sich mit Plasmen oder ionisierten Gasen beschäftigen, wendet sich diese Nachschlagewerk: Es bietet eine kompakte, übersichtliche Zusammenstellung grundlegender Formeln und Definitionen, illustriert durch Tabellen und Abbildungen. Auf langwierige Ableitungen wird verzichtet; ein mathematischer Anhang vermittelt die wichtigsten verwendeten Methoden. Ein Literaturverzeichnis auf dem neuesten Stand gibt Anregungen zum tieferen Eindringen in die Materie. Alle Aspekte der Plasmaphysik werden erfasst, inklusive Fusionsplasma - ein unverzichtbares Nachschlagewerk für Physiker, Astrophysiker und Ingenieure.
Guided-Wave-Produced Plasmas provides an up-to-date report on the physics of plasmas produced by the high-frequency electromagnetic fields of guided waves. The modelling of discharges generated by travelling surface waves is presented using a unified approach based on modern aspects of nonlinear plasma theory. Diagnostic methods needed for research and the main experimental results on plasma behaviour are covered in detail. The methods and ideas presented are liekly to lead to a wide variety of applications in plasma technology.

This volume deals with the basic knowledge and understanding of fundamental interactions of low energy electrons with molecules. It pro vides an up-to-date and comprehensive account of the fundamental in teractions of low-energy electrons with molecules of current interest in modern technology, especially the semiconductor industry. The primary electron-molecule interaction processes of elastic and in elastic electron scattering, electron-impact ionization, electron-impact dissociation, and electron attachment are discussed, and state-of-the art authoritative data on the cross sections of these processes as well as on rate and transport coefficients are provided. This fundamental knowledge h...
