The first research on plasma was done in connection with the study
of electrical discharges in gases. The focus of attention for
physicists was the partially ionized plasma, the kinetics of which
is governed by various collisional and radiative processes. The
choice of this area of research was motivated largely by the
practical problems of that time the creation of gas-discharge light
sources, rectifiers, and inverters. Since the early 1950s interest
in plasma physics has risen sharply, particularly in the study of
the completely ionized plasma with its various collective
phenomena, insta bilities, and the interesting and sometimes
unexpected effects attending the propagation of electromagnetic
waves in such a plasma and the action on it of external electric
and magnetic fields. Interest in hot plasmas has been stimulated
not only by the diverse and novel physical phenomena, but also by
the problems arising in connection with controlled nuclear fusion.
The advent, in the early 1960s, of new technical fields such as
gas-discharge lasers, magnetohydrodynamic generators,
thermoemission converters, plasma chemistry, plasma propul sion
devices, various methods in plasma technology, etc., has led to
increased interest in weakly ionized low-tempera ture plasmas. This
is particularly true of nonequilibrium plasmas, which are
characterized by an extraordinary diver sity of states and
properties."
