Plasma Atomic Physics
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-030-05966-8 (ISBN)
Plasma Atomic Physics provides an overview of the elementary processes within atoms and ions in plasmas, and introduces readers to the language of atomic spectra and light emission, allowing them to explore the various and fascinating radiative properties of matter.
The book familiarizes readers with the complex quantum-mechanical descriptions of electromagnetic and collisional processes, while also developing a number of effective qualitative models that will allow them to obtain adequately comprehensive descriptions of collisional-radiative processes in dense plasmas, dielectronic satellite emissions and autoionizing states, hollow ion X-ray emissions, polarized atoms and ions, hot electrons, charge exchange, atomic population kinetics, and radiation transport. Numerous applications to plasma spectroscopy and experimental data are presented, which concern magnetic confinement fusion, inertial fusion, laser-produced plasmas, and X-ray free-electron lasers' interaction with matter.
Particular highlights include the development of quantum kinetics to a level surpassing the almost exclusively used quasi-classical approach in atomic population kinetics, the introduction of the recently developed Quantum-F-Matrix-Theory (QFMT) to study the impact of plasma microfields on atomic populations, and the Enrico Fermi equivalent photon method to develop the "Plasma Atom", where the response properties and oscillator strength distribution are represented with the help of a local plasma frequency of the atomic electron density.
Based on courses held by the authors, this material will assist students and scientists studying the complex processes within atoms and ions in different kinds of plasmas by developing relatively simple but highly effective models. Considerable attention is paid to a number of qualitative models that deliver physical transparency, while extensive tables and formulas promote the practical and useful application ofcomplex theories and provide effective tools for non-specialist readers.
Frank B. Rosmej is a Nationally Distinguished Professor at the Sorbonne University in Paris and is leading the research group "Atomic Physics in Dense Plasmas" at the LULI-Laboratory, Ecole Polytechnique, Palaiseau, France. Born in 1962 in Germany, he obtained his Ph.D. in 1991 and Habilitation thesis in 1998 in Physics from the Ruhr-University in Bochum, Germany. He received the Feodor Lynen award from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in Germany, the Eminent Scientist price from the RIKEN research center in Japan, the Kurchatov price from the National Research Center "Kurchatov Institute" in Russia and several pedagogic and research awards from the Sorbonne University; he has been an invited Professor at the University of Tokyo, University of Nagoya, University of Osaka and the Research Center RIKEN in Japan, Scholar of the Stanford University and the University of Maryland in USA; had research stays at the Los Alamos National Laboratories, Lawrence Livermore Laboratories, Max-Planck Institute for Quantum Optics. He was honored with professorships at the Excellence Universities "Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology MIPT" and the "National Research Nuclear University MEPhI" in Russia, was founding editor of "International Pedagogical Research Papers", and President of the National French Federation of "Fusion Science". His field of research covers experimental and theoretical atomic and plasmas physics, quantum kinetics, non-equilibrium radiative properties, magnetic and inertial fusion science, the interaction of X-ray Free Electron Lasers XFEL with dense matter, suprathermal electron generation in high energy density and ultra-high intensity lasers, plasma spectroscopy and diagnostics.
