The Plasma Boundary of Magnetic Fusion Devices P.C. Stangeby is an English-language study book that delves in depth into the plasma boundary in magnetic fusion devices. The book covers the physics of the plasma edge, with special attention to plasma-surface interactions in magnetically confined fusion plasmas.
This publication discusses topics such as Debye sheaths, sputtering, scrape-off layers, plasma contaminations, recycling, and control. In addition, extensive attention is paid to 1D and 2D modeling of particle transport and the physics of divertors and limiters. The book is divided into three parts: an introduction, methods for modeling the plasma edge, and essays on current research topics.
With an extensive bibliography and index, this reference work provides a clear foundation for researchers and students who are studying the plasma boundary and plasma-surface interactions within magnetic fusion devices.
