Course objectives
The goal of the subject is an understanding of advanced parts from hightemperature plasma and application of some plasma and plasmachemical methods in practice.
The main topics are as follows:
Nuclear fusion.
Lawson's criterion.
Systems with non-inertial equilibration of plasmas.
Magnetic mirrors.
Stellarators and tokamaks.
Šafranov-Kruskalov's criterion.
Systems with inertial equilibration of plasmas.
Pinches and laser systems.
Laser experimental devices NOVA and PALS.
Plasmatrons.
MHD generators.
Plasma and ion engines.
Plasma chemistry.
Rates of plasma chemical reactions and types of these reactions.
Plasma sputtering: diode, magnetron and hf systems.
CVD,PECVD and PACVD methods. Plasma polymerisation and copolymerisation.
Surface treatments of materials in plasmas.
