IOP Series in Plasma Physics

Series Editor: Richard Dendy, Culham Centre for Fusion Energy and the University of Warwick, UK

About the Series

The new IOP Plasma Physics ebook series aims at comprehensive coverage of the physics and applications of natural and laboratory plasmas, across all temperature regimes. Books in the series range from graduate and upper-level undergraduate textbooks, research monographs and reviews.

The conceptual areas of plasma physics addressed in the series include:

Equilibrium, stability and control
Waves: fundamental properties, emission, and absorption
Nonlinear phenomena and turbulence
Transport theory and phenomenology
Laser-plasma interactions
Non-thermal and suprathermal particle populations
Beams and non-neutral plasmas
High energy density physics
Plasma-solid interactions, dusty, complex and non-ideal plasmas
Diagnostic measurements and techniques for data analysis

The fields of application include:

Nuclear fusion through magnetic and inertial confinement
Solar-terrestrial and astrophysical plasma environments and phenomena
Advanced radiation sources
Materials processing and functionalisation
Propulsion, combustion and bulk materials management
Interaction of plasma with living matter and liquids
Biological, medical and environmental systems
Low temperature plasmas, glow discharges and vacuum arcs
Plasma chemistry and reaction mechanisms
Plasma production by novel means

Authors are encouraged to take advantage of electronic publication through the use of colour, animations, video and incorporating supplementary files to enhance the reader experience.
