This book provides the reader with an introduction to the physics
of complex plasmas, a discussion of the specific scientific and
technical challenges they present and an overview of their
potential technological applications. Complex plasmas differ from
conventional high-temperature plasmas in several ways: they may
contain additional species, including nano meter- to
micrometer-sized particles, negative ions, molecules and radicals
and they may exhibit strong correlations or quantum effects. This
book introduces the classical and quantum mechanical approaches
used to describe and simulate complex plasmas. It also covers some
key experimental techniques used in the analysis of these plasmas,
including calorimetric probe methods, IR absorption techniques and
X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The final part of the book reviews
the emerging applications of microcavity and microchannel plasmas,
the synthesis and assembly of nanomaterials through plasma
electrochemistry, the large-scale generation of ozone using
microplasmas and novel applications of atmospheric-pressure
non-thermal plasmas in dentistry. Going beyond the scope of
traditional plasma texts, the presentation is very well suited for
senior undergraduate, graduate students and postdoctoral
researchers specializing in plasma physics.
