Produktbeschreibung
Fundamental Aspects of Plasma Chemical Physics - Thermodynamics develops basic and advanced concepts of plasma thermodynamics from both classical and statistical points of view.

After a refreshment of classical thermodynamics applied to the dissociation and ionization regimes, the book invites the reader to discover the role of electronic excitation in affecting the properties of plasmas, a topic often overlooked by the thermal plasma community.

Particular attention is devoted to the problem of the divergence of the partition function of atomic species and the state-to-state approach for calculating the partition function of diatomic and polyatomic molecules. The limit of ideal gas approximation is also discussed, by introducing Debye-Huckel and virial corrections.

Throughout the book, worked examples are given in order to clarify concepts and mathematical approaches.

This book is a first of a series of three books to be published by the authors onfundamental aspects of plasma chemical physics. The next books will discuss transport and kinetics.

Rezensionen
"The work will be a valuable resource for researchers using many applications involving nonequilibrium cold plasmas such as plasma beams, etching, cleaning, deposition, surface activation, and gas lasers. ... Extensive references are provided, chapter-by-chapter, in addition to useful tables of reactions and processes with descriptions and references. ... Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students, researchers/faculty, and professionals/practitioners." (T. Eastman, Choice, Vol. 53 (10), June, 2016)
