Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

We then advise you accordingly. If the time taken to get any book is too long for you, you can let us know and we will cancel or adjust your order, and refund as required.

This textbook, based on the author’s classroom-tested lecture course, helps graduate students master the advanced plasma theory needed to unlock results at the forefront of current research. It is structured around a two semester course, beginning with kinetic theory and transport processes, while the second semester is devoted to plasma dynamics, including MHD theory, equilibrium, and stability. More advanced problems such as neoclassical theory, stochastization of the magnetic field lines, and edge plasma physics are also considered, and each chapter ends with an illustrative example which demonstrates a concrete application of the theory. The distinctive feature of this book is that, unlike most other advanced plasma science texts, phenomena in both low and high temperature plasma are considered simultaneously so that theory of slightly ionized and fully ionized plasmas is presented holistically. This book will therefore be ideal as a classroom text or self-study guide for a widecohort of graduate students working in different areas like nuclear fusion, gas discharge physics, low temperature plasma applications, astrophysics, and more. It is also a useful reference for more seasoned researchers.

Vladimir Rozhansky is a Professor and Head of Plasma Physics Department at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University. His research interests lie in plasma theory, in particular transport in partially ionized magnetized plasma, electric fields and transport in tokamaks. He is one of the main developers of the transport code SOLPS-ITER which is used for edge plasma modelling in many tokamaks over the world. For several years he has been awarded the title ‘Soros Professor’, and has worked as an invited scientist numerous times at the Institute for Plasma Physics (Germany), Culham Centre for Fusion Energy (UK), and the Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden). He is an ITER Scientific Fellow. Vladimir Rozhansky has lectured on Plasma Theory at SPbPU since 1988, and was scientific adviser for many doctoral students in the area of plasma theory.
