Kinetics and Spectroscopy of Low Temperature Plasmas
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-319-79166-1 (ISBN)
This is a comprehensive textbook designed forgraduate and advanced undergraduate students. Both authors rely on more than 20years of teaching experience in renowned Physics Engineering courses to writethis book addressing the students' needs.
Kinetics and Spectroscopy of Low Temperature Plasmasderives in a full self-consistent way the electron kinetic theory used todescribe low temperature plasmas created in the laboratory with an electrical discharge,and presents the main optical spectroscopic diagnostics used to characterizesuch plasmas. The chapters with the theoretical contents make use of adeductive approach in which the electron kinetic theory applied to plasmaswith basis on the electron Boltzmann equation is derived from the basicconcepts of Statistical and Plasma Physics. On the other hand, the mainoptical spectroscopy diagnostics used to characterize experimentally such plasmasare presented and justified from the point of view of the Atomic and MolecularPhysics.
Low temperature plasmas (LTP) are partially ionized gases with a broaduse in many technological applications such as microelectronics, light sources,lasers, biology and medicine. LTPs lead to the production of atomic andmolecular excited states, chemically reactive radicals, and activated surfacesites, which are in the origin, among others, of the deposition of thin films,advanced nanotechnology products, solar cells, highly efficient combustionmotors, and treatment of cancer cells.Dr. JORGE M. A. H. LOUREIRO received his PhD in Physics from the Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), Lisbon, Portugal. He is currently Associate professor at IST, since 1994, where he accumulates 26 years of teaching experience on the following graduate and undergraduate courses: Electromagnetism and Optics; Classical Electrodynamics; Plasma Physics; Gas Discharges; Atomic and Molecular Physics of Plasmas. Dr. Jayr de Amorim Filho received his Bachelor in Electronic Engineering from the Engineering College, São José dos Campos, Brazil (1987), and went on to receive his MSc from the Aeronautics Technology Institute (ITA), in 1989, and a PhD in Physics from Université Paris XI, Orsay, France (1994), where he spent an additional year conducting his postdoctoral research. He is now full professor at ITA, São José dos Campos, Brazil. His current research focus on Plasma Physics, Electric Discharges, and RF and microwave applied to biomass processing.
