Fusion energy research is also the primary avenue for the development of plasma physics as a scientific discipline. The technologies and the science of plasmas developed en route to fusion power are already important in other appHcations and fields of science (see Plasma technology).

Andrei Sakliarov was a Soviet physicist who became, in the words of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, a spokesman for the conscience of mankind. He made many important contributions to our understanding of plasma physics, particle physics, and cosmology. He also designed nuclear weapons for two decades, becoming the father of the Soviet hydrogen bomb in the Ih.SOs. After recognizing the dangers of nuclear weapons tests, he championed the 1963 U.S.-Soviet test ban treaty and other antinuclear initiatives.

Chemical vapor deposition is a synthesis process in which the chemical constituents react in the vapor phase near or on a heated substrate to form a solid deposit. The CVD technology combines several scientific and engineering disciplines including thermodynamics, plasma physics, kinetics, fluid dynamics, and of course chemistry. In this chapter, the fundamental aspects of these disciplines and their relationship will be examined as they relate to CVD. 

This section treats the plasma physics and plasma chemistry of the typical silane-hydrogen RF discharge, with occasional examples that employ a somewhat higher excitation frequency. Electrical characterization of the discharge is followed by an analysis of the silane chemistry. An appropriate set of gas phase species is presented, which are then used in the modeling of the plasma. A comparison is made between modeling results and experimental work in ASTER. Extension to 2D modeling is presented as well.

A generalized oscillator-wave model is considered showing that the inhomogeneous external influence is realized naturally and does not require any specific conditions. The article considers also the presence of a small horseshoe in the dynamics of a particle under the action of two waves. Originally the problem comes from the plasma physics in despite of the existence of some other applications of the differential equation we study here.

However, the recent developments in non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, and the success of its application in another field of physics where the long-range Coulomb forces play a major role, namely plasma physics, have led various authors to investigate the limiting laws for transport phenomena in electrolytes from a... 

No attempt will be made here to extend our results beyond the simple lowest-order limiting laws the often ad hoc modifications of these laws to higher concentrations are discussed in many excellent books,8 11 14 but we shall not try to justify them here. As a matter of fact, for equilibrium as well as for nonequilibrium properties, the rigorous extension of the microscopic calculation beyond the first term seems outside the present power of statistical mechanics, because of the rather formidable mathematical difficulties which arise. The main interests of a microscopic theory lie both in the justification qf the assumptions which are involved in the phenomenological approach and in the possibility of extending the mathematical techniques to other problems where a microscopic approach seems necessary in the particular case of the limiting laws, obvious extensions are in the direction of other transport coefficients of electrolytes (viscosity, thermal conductivity, questions involving polyelectrolytes) and of plasma physics, as well as of quantum phenomena where similar effects may be expected (conductivity of metals and semi-...

The efforts to obtain increasing output powers in pulsed and continuous operation, stimulated mainly by military needs but eminently useful for basic spectroscopic research, e. g. in nonlinear optics or in plasma physics, has already resulted in pulsed output powers of 10 watts (neodymium laser) and continuous powers of 30 Kw (CO2 lasers).

Overall, we seem to find reasons to be hopeful about the possibilities of the RQDO formalism for predicting spectral properties of interest in astrophysics and plasma physics. These reasons rest on the correctness of the resuits so far achieved for F/ and Cl I [20,21], and the low computational expense and avoidance of the numerous convergence probiems which are common in the multiconfigurational approaches.
