Title Electron Kinetics and Applications of Glow Discharges Author(s) Kortshagen, Uwe;Tsendin, Lev D Publication New York, NY, Springer US, 1998. Description IX, 557 p : online resource Abstract Note This book resulted from the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on ???Electron Kinetics and Applications of Glow Discharges,??? held in St. Petersburg, Russia, on May 19-23, 1997. Glow discharges have found widespread applications in many technological processes from the manufacture of semiconductors, to recent developments in na- technology, to the traditional fields of gas lasers, and discharge lamps. Consequently, the interest in the physics of glow discharges has experienced yet another resurgence of interest. While the non-equilibrium character of glow discharges is widely accepted, the opinion still prevails that the main features can be captured by fluid models, and that kinetic treatments are only required for the understanding of subtle details. The erroneousness of this belief is demonstrated by the failure of fluid models to describe many basic features of glow discharges such as, for instance, electrode phenomena, striations, and collisionless heating effects. An adequate description of glow discharges thus has to be of kinetic nature ISBN,Price 9780306470769 Keyword(s) 1. EBOOK 2. EBOOK - SPRINGER 3. Heavy ions 4. NUCLEAR PHYSICS 5.
