PHY 4780 - Introduction to Plasma Physics

(3-0-3) Plasma is sometimes called the fourth state of matter. It occurs when the material is hot enough that thermal collisions can free electrons from the atoms. In this course the implications and applications of plasma will be studied. The course will cover many different interactions between plasmas and electric and magnetic fields.
