Book Description
This book is a stop-gap contribution to the science and technology of carbon plasmas and carbon vapors. It strives to cover two strongly related fields: the molecular quantum theory of carbon plasmas and carbon nanostructures; and the molecular and atomic spectroscopy of such plasmas and vapors. These two fields of research are strongly intertwined and thus reinforce one another. Even though the use of carbon nanostructures is increasing by the day and their practical uses are emerging, there is no modern review on carbon plasmas, especially from molecular theoretical and spectroscopic viewpoints. The importance of the present book is therefore great from both educational and practical aspects. This review might be the first step towards bringing such textbooks into existence for university education. Similarly, for applied and engineering works in carbon nanostructures, the book provides a theoretical salient point for technologists in the field.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“This book will serve not only researchers working in this field but will also be useful for academic study in an advanced graduate course at a university level. It can provide students in high-temperature atomic media studies very good examples of complex mechanisms that still have many unanswered questions and are in need of innovative experimental approaches to take carbon nanotechnology to the next level. There is no doubt that carbon nanostructures will play a critical role in new applications of nanotechnology in the future. This book will definitely help researchers achieve this goal.” —IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine
