This is a comprehensive textbook designed for graduate and advanced
undergraduate students. Both authors rely on more than 20 years of
teaching experience in renowned Physics Engineering courses to
write this book addressing the students' needs. Kinetics and
Spectroscopy of Low Temperature Plasmas derives in a full
self-consistent way the electron kinetic theory used to describe
low temperature plasmas created in the laboratory with an
electrical discharge, and presents the main optical spectroscopic
diagnostics used to characterize such plasmas. The chapters with
the theoretical contents make use of a deductive approach in which
the electron kinetic theory applied to plasmas with basis on the
electron Boltzmann equation is derived from the basic concepts of
Statistical and Plasma Physics. On the other hand, the main optical
spectroscopy diagnostics used to characterize experimentally such
plasmas are presented and justified from the point of view of the
Atomic and Molecular Physics. Low temperature plasmas (LTP) are
partially ionized gases with a broad use in many technological
applications such as microelectronics, light sources, lasers,
biology and medicine. LTPs lead to the production of atomic and
molecular excited states, chemically reactive radicals, and
activated surface sites, which are in the origin, among others, of
the deposition of thin films, advanced nanotechnology products,
solar cells, highly efficient combustion motors, and treatment of
cancer cells.
