Description
Book SynopsisBasic Processes of Gaseous Electronics is an advanced exploration into the field of gaseous electronics, building upon the foundational work presented in the author's earlier book, Fundamental Processes of Electrical Discharge in Gases (1939). The earlier book provided a comprehensive review of the subject, addressing gaps in knowledge and methodology that had emerged over decades of research. The current volume acknowledges the transformative advances in technology, theory, and experimental methods made over the intervening fifteen years, including innovations in microwave techniques, short-duration pulsed potentials, and high-speed oscilloscopes. These developments have enabled deeper insights into phenomena such as electron-energy distributions, ionization, recombination, and the mechanisms underlying electrical discharge. This book incorporates significant theoretical and experimental progress, including refinements in the kinetic theory of nonequilibrium gases and analyses of e
