Publisher's Synopsis
The book ""Interaction of Plane-Parallel Double Layers"" by Owen Francis Devereux is a comprehensive guide to the study of double layers in plasma physics. The book provides a detailed explanation of the physics behind the formation and interaction of plane-parallel double layers, which are commonly observed in plasma experiments. The author begins by introducing the basic concepts of plasma physics and the properties of double layers. He then delves into the mathematical models used to describe the behavior of double layers, including the Poisson equation and the Boltzmann equation. The book also covers the experimental techniques used to observe and measure double layers in plasma, such as Langmuir probes and plasma diagnostics.Throughout the book, Devereux provides numerous examples and case studies to illustrate the concepts and theories discussed. He also includes a detailed discussion of the role of double layers in various plasma phenomena, such as ion acceleration and plasma heating.Overall, ""Interaction of Plane-Parallel Double Layers"" is a valuable resource for students and researchers in the field of plasma physics, providing a comprehensive overview of the behavior and properties of double layers in plasma.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
