Download or read book Advances In Dusty Plasmas: Proceedings Of The International Conference On The Physics Of Dusty Plasmas written by Padma Kant Shukla and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1997-12-04 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dust-plasma interactions are of interest not only to space scientists and astrophysicists but lately also to technologists working in the semiconductor manufacturing industry. This book shows the wide scope of this new field, which is presently in a rapid state of development. It includes discussions not only of the physics and dynamics of charged dust in various plasma environments, but also of collective processes in dusty plasmas (new wave modes and instabilities), and the fascinating new development of the crystallization of dusty plasmas in the laboratory.
