Abstract

This Special Issue covers a wide range of topics from fundamental studies to applications of ionized gases. It is dedicated to 4 focusing points: 1. ATOMIC COLLISION PROCESSES (electron and photon interactions with atomic particles, heavy particle collisions, swarms and transport phenomena); 2. PARTICLE AND LASER BEAM INTERACTION WITH SOLIDS (atomic collisions in solids, sputtering and deposition, laser and plasma interaction with surfaces); 3. LOW TEMPERATURE PLASMAS (plasma spectroscopy and other diagnostic methods, gas discharges, plasma applications and devices) and 4. GENERAL PLASMAS (fusion plasmas, astrophysical plasmas and collective phenomena). This Special Issue of Atoms will highlight the need for continuing research on the ionized gases physics in different range of topics from fundamental studies to applications and will review present investigation.
