Theoretical Aspect of Low Pressure Discharges in Simple Gasses

Abstract

Discharges processing is becoming more and more important in many industries. This paper attempts to bring together, in relatively compact form a basic derivation of the physics of processing discharges including collision theory, kinetic theory, simple chemical reactions, fluid formulations and sheath physics.
