Molecular Processes in Plasmas: Collisions of Charged Particles with Molecules

by Y. Itikawa and Yukikazu Itikawa

Book Overview

A variety of plasmas include molecules rather than only ions or atoms. Examples are ionospheres of the Earth and other planets, stellar atmospheres, gaseous discharges for use in various devices and processes, and fusion plasmas in the edge region. This book describes the role of molecules in those plasmas by showing elementary collision processes involving those molecules. All possible processes are presented both for electron and ion collisions...
