Ionization and ion transport : a primer for the study of non-equilibrium, low-temperature gas discharges and plasmas /

This is an introduction for engineering and science students to the basic underlying physics and chemistry concepts that form the foundation of plasma science and engineering. It is a bridge for students who have no background in the topic by providing an understanding of what an ion is, how they mo...
