Plasma is one of the four fundamental states of matter; the other three being solid, liquid and gas. Several components, such as molecular clouds, diffuse interstellar gas, the solar atmosphere, the Earth's ionosphere and laboratory plasmas, including fusion plasmas, constitute the partially ionized plasmas. This book discusses different aspects of partially ionized plasmas including multi-fluid description, equilibrium and types of waves. The discussion goes on to cover the reionization phase of the universe, along with a brief description of high discharge plasmas, tokomak plasmas and laser plasmas. Various elastic and inelastic collisions amongst the three particle species are also presented. ... Read more

Reviews for Physics of Partially Ionized Plasmas
'Professor Krishan is to be congratulated for such a mathematically detailed presentation of her material, which allows the reader to follow the developments step by step. Make no mistake, this is a challenging book, but it is also an extremely rewarding one for anyone who wants to acquire a thorough grounding in the theory of partially ionized plasmas.' Terry Robinson, ... Read more
