Starting from particle drifts in magnetic fields, the principles of magnetic confinement fusion are explained and compared with laser fusion. Collective processes are discussed in terms of plasma waves and instabilities. The concepts of plasma description by magnetohydrodynamics, kinetic theory, and particle simulation are stepwise introduced. Space charge effects in sheath regions, double layers and plasma diodes are given the necessary attention. The novel fundamental mechanisms of dusty plasmas are explored and integrated into the framework of conventional plasmas. The book concludes with a concise description of modern plasma discharges. Written by an internationally renowned researcher in experimental plasma physics, the text keeps the mathematical apparatus simple and emphasizes the underlying concepts. The guidelines of plasma physics are illustrated by a host of practical examples, preferentially from plasma diagnostics. There, Langmuir probe methods, laser interferometry, ionospheric sounding, Faraday rotation, and diagnostics of dusty plasmas are discussed. Though primarily addressing students in plasma physics, the book is easily accessible for researchers in neighboring disciplines, such as space science, astrophysics, material science, applied physics, and electrical engineering. This second edition has been thoroughly revised and contains substantially enlarged chapters on plasma diagnostics, dusty plasmas and plasma discharges. Probe techniques have been rearranged into basic theory and a host of practical examples for probe techniques in dc, rf, and space plasmas. New topics in dusty plasmas, such as plasma crystals, Yukawa balls, phase transitions and attractive forces have been adopted. The chapter on plasma discharges now contains a new section on conventional and high-power impulse magnetron sputtering. The recently discovered electrical asymmetry effect in capacitive rf-discharges is described. The text is based on an introductory course to plasma physics and advanced courses in plasma diagnostics, dusty plasmas, and plasma waves, which the author has taught at Kiel University for three decades. The pedagogical approach combines detailed explanations, a large number of illustrative figures, short summaries of the basics at the end of each chapter, and a selection of problems with detailed solutions. 410 0$aGraduate Texts in Physics,$x1868-4513 606 $aPlasma (Ionized gases) 606 $aAstrophysics 606 $aLow temperature physics 606 $aLow temperatures 606 $aPlasma Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P24040 606 $aAstrophysics and Astroparticles$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22022 606 $aLow Temperature Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25130 615 0$aPlasma (Ionized gases). 615 0$aAstrophysics. 615 0$aLow temperature physics. 615 0$aLow temperatures. 615 14$aPlasma Physics. 615 24$aAstrophysics and Astroparticles. 615 24$aLow Temperature Physics. 676 $a530.44 700 $aPiel$b Alexander$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0474032 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254591203321 996 $aPlasma physics$9251201 997 $aUNINA
