Basics of Plasma Physics
Basic properties of plasmas are introduced, which are valid for an extremely wide range of plasma parameters. Plasmas are classified by different... -
Strongly Coupled Plasmas
We give a brief introduction into the basic many-particle effectes in strongly coupled plasmas and their theoretical treatment. Exemplary results are... -
Magnetic Confinement
This chapter describes the basic principles of magnetic confinement. The main representatives of magnetic confinement are the mirror machine, the... -
Observation of Plasma Fluctuations
The diagnostics of fluctuating plasma quantities and their evaluation is an important issue in the context of plasma waves, instabilities, and... -
Low Temperature Plasmas
Characteristic properties and generation mechanisms of low temperature plasmas in different gas discharges are presented. A special part is focussed... -
Collective Effects in Dusty Plasmas
Dusty plasmas, i.e. plasmas containing particles of nanometer to micrometer size, allow the observation of kinetic and collective effects on a... -
Physics of “Hot” Plasmas
The physics of hot plasmas, i.e. nearly collisionless plasmas with finite pressure as they occur in astrophysical or fusion applications, is... -
Computational Plasma Physics
The use of computational methods is discussed for plasma edge physicsand plasma turbulence studies. -

Nuclear Fusion
Nuclear fusion is one of the most important physics effects as it is the basis of power production and synthesis of nuclei in stars. The basic... -
Plasma Diagnostics
Measuring plasma quantities is a demanding challenge in experimental plasma physics. It requires detailed knowledge of basic plasma physics and... -
Non-Neutral Plasmas and Collective Phenomena in Ion Traps
Single components non-neutral plasmas confined in static or radiofrequency traps show oscillations and instabilities as basic manifestations of... -
The Possible Role of Nuclear Fusion in the 21st Century
The possible role of fusion as a future energy source is examined. These considerations have to link physical issues and socio-economic aspects. -
Introduction to Turbulence in Magnetized Plasmas
Turbulence is a complex manifestation of collective plasma behaviour. An introduction to turbulence with particular emphasis on magnetized plasmas is... -
Plasmas in Planetary Interiors
We give an overview of the properties of matter in planetary interiors. Of special interest are the equation of state and the conductivities. This... -
Transport in Toroidal Plasmas
To understand the mechanisms determining con.nement of energy and particles in toroidal plasmas, is one of the most prominent and ambiguous... -
Waves in Plasmas
Waves are basic manifestation of collective effects in plasmas. Wave types occurring in the plasma state are introduced and discussed with... -
An Introduction to Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD),or Magnetic Fluid Dynamics
The physics of hot plasmas is based on understanding of the interdependency of magnetic and hydrodynamics properties of plasmas. -
Nuclear Isomers
It has been nearly 100 years since Otto Hahn, while searching for the precursor of actinium, realized that the newly discovered radioactive product... -
Nuclear Excitation by Free Muon Capture
Several ingredients have to come together for the NEEC process to occur and to be efficient: (i) the presence of vacancies in which the capture can...
