L’ouvrage est une introduction à la physique des plasmas collisionnels, destinée à un public relativement large de scientifiques non spécialistes. Le milieu que constitue un plasma est d’abord défini et précisé. Puis sont étudiés les mouvements individuels des particules chargées dans des champs électriques et magnétiques, ainsi que leur mouvement collectif décrit par un modèle hydrodynamique du plasma. Une attention particulière est portée à la physique des décharges RF et micro-onde, à la base de nombreuses applications en recherche, dans l’industrie, et pour des appareillages et revêtements très variés. Une centaine d’illustrations facilite la compréhension. Des annexes de physique et de mathématiques, corrélées à chaque chapitre, permettent soit de combler une lacune, soit d’approfondir un calcul ou un concept. Plus d’une cinquantaine d’exercices avec corrigés, dont certains entièrement originaux, sont également proposés, soit pour leur caractère didactique, soit pour leur lien avec certaines problématiques actuelles. Cet ouvrage est accessible à un niveau de Licence (L3), mais le public ciblé est celui des Master et Doctorat. Outre les étudiants, chercheurs, universitaires, l’ouvrage est destiné aux ingénieurs et opérateurs qui mettent en œuvre les technologies plasma et désirent en posséder les bases physiques.

The Physics of Collisional Plasmas deals with the plasma physics of interest to laboratory research and industrial applications, such as lighting, fabrication of microelectronics, destruction of greenhouse gases. Its emphasis is on explaining the physical mechanisms, rather than the detailed mathematical description and theoretical analysis. At the introductory level, it is important to convey the characteristic physical phenomena of plasmas, before addressing the ultimate formalism of kinetic theory, with its microscopic, statistical mechanics approach. To this aim, this text translates the physical phenomena into more tractable equations, using the hydrodynamic model; this considers the plasma as a fluid, in which the macroscopic physical parameters are the statistical averages of the microscopic (individual) parameters. This book is an introduction to the physics of collisional plasmas, as opposed to plasmas in space. It is intended for graduate students in physics and engineering . The first chapter introduces with progressively increasing detail, the fundamental concepts of plasma physic. The motion of individual charged particles in various configurations of electric and magnetic fields is detailed in the second chapter while the third chapter considers the collective motion of the plasma particles described according to a hydrodynamic model. The fourth chapter is most original in that it introduces a general approach to energy balance, valid for all types of discharges comprising direct current(DC) and high frequency (HF) discharges, including an applied static magnetic field. The basic concepts required in this fourth chapter have been progressively introduced in the previous chapters. The text is enriched with approx. 100 figures, and alphabetical index and 45 fully resolved problems. Mathematical and physical appendices provide complementary information or allow to go deeper in a given subject.
