Research and Markets: Comprehensive Reference on Cluster Processes in Gases and Plasmas

Dublin | Posted on March 31st, 2010

This reference on cluster physics in materials science draws upon the author's unrivalled experience in plasma science.

He covers in detail electromagnetic effects, cluster motion and growth, as well as aerosols, providing the knowledge instrumental for an understanding of nanostructure formation.

Around 400 case studies enable readers to directly relate the methods to their own individual tasks or projects.

The author presents another, thoroughly enhanced work, drawing upon his unrivalled broad experience in plasma science.

The popularity of plasma fabrication in nanoscience mandates a book carefully conveying the physics behind the various interactions and processes of particle clusters.

Key Topics Covered:

Fundamentals of Large Clusters

Structures of Solid Clusters with Pairwise Atomic Interaction

Elementary Processes and Processes in Gases Involving Clusters

Clusters in External Fields

Cluster Transport in Gases and Diffusion-Limited Association of Clusters

Charging of Clusters in Ionized Gas

Ionization Equilibrium of Clusters in a Gas

Kinetics of Cluster Growth

Dusty Plasma

Aerosol Plasma

Cluster Plasma

Conclusion

Author:

Boris M. Smirnov received his PhD in physics from Leningrad State University in 1968. After working in different research positions, he finally accepted a post as head of one of the divisions of the Institute for High Temperatures at the Russian Academy of Sciences in Moscow in 1986. He is Vice Chairman of the National Council for Low Temperature Plasma and Chairman of a Section on Elementary Processes in Plasma. Professor Smirnov's research interests focus on Plasma Physics and Technology, Cluster Physics, Fractal Systems and Nanostructures, and the Physics of Ball Lightning.

His experience he has compiled into more than 40 books, and more than 350 research papers.
