Plasmas: The First State of Matter

4.9/5 (25563 ratings)

Description:Most astronomers believe that the universe began about 15 billion years ago when an explosion led to its expansion and cooling. The present state of the universe, when extrapolated back in time, compels us to believe that the universe was extremely hot and dense in its infancy. In the beginning there was intense radiation. The photons produced equal amounts of matter and antimatter and a plasma soup of particles and antiparticles was all there was. Thus, plasma is the first state of matter out of which all the other states originated. This book discusses the phenomenal diversity of cosmic and terrestrial plasmas found in the early universe, galactic and intergalactic media, stellar atmospheres and their interiors, interstellar spaces, solar system and in the earth’s ionosphere, and their observability with the most recent telescopes such as the Chandra X-ray telescope and gamma ray telescopes. It deals with different ways of creating plasmas such as thermal, pressure and radiative ionization for laboratory as well as cosmic plasmas. The topics covered in the book include:• Laboratory plasmas and their applications in life and industry• Different methods of forming plasmas• Confinement of hot and energetic plasmas• Existence and detection of waves in plasmas to specify their density, temperature and magnetization• Symbiotic relation between plasmas and radiationWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging. And by having access to our ebooks online or by storing it on your computer, you have convenient answers with Plasmas: The First State of Matter.
