Principles of Modern Physics covers important developments in physics during the twentieth century. Beginning with the development of the quantum concept and radiation laws, followed by Einstein's special relativity, it covers atomic structure, basics of spectra, basic (non relativistic) quantum mechanics with an introduction to Dirac's relativistic wave equation and the problem of hydrogen atom. This follows the statistical distribution laws, X-rays and physics of solids, their imperfections, magnetic properties and superconductivity (including newly discovered high Tc superconductors), Zeeman and Stark effects, Lasers, nuclear physics, radio-activity, nuclear fission and fusion, particle accelerators and detectors. It features a discussion on Universe (including stellar evolution Chandrasekhar limit, black holes and big-bang theory), elementary particles (including tau-theta puzzle, SU(2) and SU(3) symmetry, the Eightfold- way, ...

This book presents the theory of gas discharge plasmas in a didactical way. It explains the processes in gas discharge plasmas. A gas discharge plasma is an ionized gas which is supported by an external electric field. Therefore its parameters are determined by processes in it. The properties of a gas discharge plasma depend on its gas component, types of external fields, their geometry and regimes of gas discharge. Fundamentals of a gas discharge plasma include elementary, radiative and transport processes which are included in its kinetics influence. They are represented in this book together with the analysis of simple gas discharges. These general principles are applied to stationary gas discharge plasmas of helium and argon. The analysis of such plasmas under certain conditions is theoretically determined by numerical plasma parameters for given regimes and conditions.

An Introduction to Gas Discharges: Second Edition aims to provide a compact introduction to the subject of gas discharges, which continues to make both scientific and industrial progress. In this second edition, the author has made minor corrections, rewritten and expanded some sections, used SI units and modernized notions, in hopes of making the book more up to date. Included in the book is a short history of the subject, an introduction that enumerates the types of gas discharges, the fundamental processes, and then moves on to the more specific areas such as the breakdown, the self-sustaining discharge, equilibrium, plasma properties and measurements, and the technological applications of gas discharges. Concise and easy to understand, the text is for students and researchers who wish to learn the subject and prepare them for more advanced readings.

This work concerns the computational modelling of the dynamics of partially ionized gases, with emphasis on electrodischarge processes. Understanding gas discharges is fundamental for many processes in mechanics, manufacturing, materials science, and aerospace engineering. This second edition has been expanded to include the latest developments in the field, especially regarding the drift-diffusion model and rarefied hypersonic flow.
