PLASMA RELATED BOOKS
Industrial Plasma Engineering: Vol. 1 - Principles
J. Reece Roth
Institute of Physics Publishing, 1995, 536 pp.
ISBN: 0-7503-0317-4 (Hardback)
Dr. Roth's aim in the 2-volume series: to describe plasma-related devices and processes used industrially. The book assumes no recent knowledge of plasma physics and is aimed at the senior or first year graduate student from any engineering or physical science disciplines.
The book starts with an introduction to the history of plasmas and standard kinetic theory of gases. It goes on with an exhaustive description of charge particle motion in electrical and magnetic fields and a chapter on the characteristics of plasmas. Then detailed chapters on a variety of electron, ion and radiation sources follow, leading to the meat of the book, a thorough 280-page treatment of dark, DC, RF, and microwave discharges in gases.
Without doubt this is a 'must have' book for all readers with interests in general plasmas or in sources of charged particles or radiation. It is difficult to imagine that Dr. Roth has left any significant point unexamined, yet his writing style makes the book accessible for even the most casual browser.

This book discusses the fundamental principles of partially ionized, chemically reactive plasma discharges and their use in thin-film processing. Plasma processing is a high-technology discipline born out of the need to access a parameter space in materials processing unattainable by strictly chemical methods. The field is interdisciplinary, combining the areas of plasma physics, surface science, gas-phase chemistry, and atomic molecular physics. The common theme is the creation and use of plasmas to activate a chain of chemical reactions at a substrate surface. Our treatment is mainly restricted to discharges at low pressures, < 1 Torr, which deliver activation energy, but not heat, to the surface. Plasma-based surface processes are indispensable for manufacturing the integrated circuits used by the electronics industry, and we use thin-film processes drawn from this field as examples. Plasma processing is also an important technology in the aerospace, automotive, steel, biomedical, and toxic waste management industries.
Thermal Plasmas : Fundamentals and Applications
M. I. Boulos, P. Fauchais and E. Pfender
Plenum press, 1994
Intended as a reference or introductory text, volume one begins with a definition of the plasma state and its properties and applications. The next three chapters cover the essentials of atomic and molecular theory, kinetic theory, and gaseous electronics. After deriving the plasma equations, thermodynamic and transport properties are considered. The most up-to-date values of these properties for selected gases and gas mixtures are presented in the Appendix. The last chapter is devoted to radiation transport. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
In this unique textbook and reference source, the authors integrate theoretical and applied research from a host of disciplines, including materials science, plasma physics, and advanced transport phenomena. Volume 1, the first of two, covers the fundamentals of plasma physics and gaseous electronics, thermodynamics, and transport properties of plasma.
