PC in electronegative gases.Electric glow discharges (glows) can be found almost everywhere, from atmospheric electricity to modern plasma technologies, and have long been the object of research. The main purpose of this book is to provide simple illustrations of the basic physical mechanisms and principles that determine the properties of electric glow discharges. It should enable readers to successfully participate in scientific and technical progress.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Chengxun Yuan received his PhD degree in physics from Harbin Institute of Technology in 2011. Now he is the associate professor of the department of physics at Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin, China. His research interests include basic plasma physics, dusty plasma physics and the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with plasma. He has more than 80 publications in the plasma field. Anatoly A. Kudryavtsev received the MS and PhD degrees in physics from the Leningrad State University in 1976 and 1983, respectively. Since 1982, he has been with St Petersburg State University, where he is now an Associate Professor at the Optics Department, and the Chair Professor of the Department of Physics at Harbin Institute of Technology. He is an expert in the gas discharge physics and kinetic theory of plasma physics, and the author of over 150 journal articles and numerous conference presentations. Vladimir Demidov received his PhD degree from Leningrad State University (now St Petersburg State University) in 1981. He has been with West Virginia University (Morgantown, WV, USA) since 2003. Now he is a research professor at the Department of Physics and adjunct professor at the Department of Mathematics.
