Scope:
In this course, we will discuss the basics to describe physical plasmas, while collisions, transport mechanisms, confinement possibilities and waves in plasmas will be emphasised. Besides the fluid model and the kinetic description, which are both essential for the mathematical description of plasmas, we will look at boundary layers and their phenomena. Applications of low-temperature plasmas as well as plasmas for nuclear fusion will be in focus. This course provides an overview of physical plasmas and gives basic knowledge, which can be built upon theoretically and experimentally in advanced courses on this topic.

Scope: In this course, we will discuss the challenges of plasma chemistry in low temperature non-equilibrium and thermal plasmas as well as plasma wall interaction. Topics such as elementary plasma chemical reactions, kinetics and thermodynamics of plasma chemical processes as well as experimental and theoretical investigation methods of plasma chemistry and plasma wall interaction are discussed in detail.
The topics covered are illustrated using examples of the application of plasmas for the synthesis, decomposition and treatment of various materials in industry and science.
