| Content | What is a plasma! The lecture looks at fundamental physical processes and phenomena dealing with the description of a plasma and plasma specific phenomena at different level of complexity. Starting from single particle motion the description starts to include the effect of electric and magnetic fields and finally to a hydrodynamic equation. Phenomena occuring at the volume and on surfaces are derived from this. Their importance for practical plasm application is discussed then. |
| Learning objectives | Einführung in die grundlegenden physikalischen Prozesse der Plasmaphysik. Grundlegende atomphysikalische Prozesse, statistische Beschreibung. Phänomene der Plasmaphysik mit und ohne externen elektromagnetischen Feldern und Strömen. |
| Bibliography | will be given in the lecture |
| Comments | lecture is planned to be done in a mixture of prerecorded presentations using slides together with a more interactive part during the online lecture itself. The interactive part will take part during the allocated lecture time via zoom and requires at least to usage of a microphone. |
| Admission requirements | Physics I-III required, knowledge of electrodynamics and thermodynamics is an advantage |
| Language of instruction | English |
