Principles of Plasma Discharges and Materials Processing 

A Thorough Update of the Industry Classic on Principles of Plasma
Processing

The first edition of Principles of Plasma Discharges and Materials
Processing, published over a decade ago, was lauded for its
complete treatment of both basic plasma physics and industrial
plasma processing, quickly becoming the primary reference for
students and professionals.

The Second Edition has been carefully updated and revised to
reflect recent developments in the field and to further clarify the
presentation of basic principles. Along with in-depth coverage of
the fundamentals of plasma physics and chemistry, the authors apply
basic theory to plasma discharges, including calculations of plasma
parameters and the scaling of plasma parameters with control
parameters.

New and expanded topics include:

* Updated cross sections

* Diffusion and diffusion solutions

* Generalized Bohm criteria

* Expanded treatment of dc sheaths

* Langmuir probes in time-varying fields

* Electronegative discharges

* Pulsed power discharges

* Dual frequency discharges

* High-density rf sheaths and ion energy distributions

* Hysteresis and instabilities

* Helicon discharges

* Hollow cathode discharges

* Ionized physical vapor deposition

* Differential substrate charging

With new chapters on dusty plasmas and the kinetic theory of
discharges, graduate students and researchers in the field of
plasma processing should find this new edition more valuable than
ever.
