Author:
Resonant network antennas can overcome the limitations of conventional RF plasma sources. Their intense currents at resonance are well suited for inductive coupling in novel reactor configurations. This reference text explains the complete theory of resonant antennas, from fundamental circuits to mutual partial inductance coupling with plasma, and helicon wave theory.
Resonant antennas are increasingly employed by the plasma industry, and the theory has now developed alongside the technological applications to the extent that it is timely to document the progress in this field to aid antenna design for future novel RF plasma sources. This reference text explains the complete theory of resonant antennas, from fundamental circuits to mutual partial inductance coupling with plasma. It describes industrial applications, and covers state-of-the-art research in helicon wave physics and sources with plasma diagnostics. The book is divided into four parts, covering resonant network antennas without plasma, antennas in magnetized and non-magnetized plasma, and finally, technology and future developments of resonant network antennas.
Key Features
Explains the complete theory of resonant network antennas in self-consistent detail, from fundamental circuits to mutual partial inductance coupling with plasma Describes tried-and-tested industrial applications, with novel technological solutions and design tips Covers state-of-the-art research in helicon wave physics and sources with plasma diagnostics Includes futuristic configurations such as phase-locked antennas, 2D networks, toroidal sources Matlab programs are provided for the most useful and recurring antenna calculationsAbout the Author: Dr. Philippe Guittienne is a physicist at the Swiss Plasma Center (SPC) in the Basic Plasma Physics and Applications group under Prof. Ivo Furno, and founder of the Helyssen company in 2003. Following an engineering degree in physics (1997) and a doctorate (2002) in condensed matter physics at the EPFL on magnetization reversal in ferromagnetic nanostructures, he completely changed his field of interest to plasma physics with the idea of using resonant birdcages for helicon sources. He founded the Helyssen start-up in 2003, and started a collaboration with Dr. Christoph Hollenstein's group at the SPC for the development of resonant antennas as plasma sources. Dr. Alan Arthur Howling is an Adjoint Scientifique/Senior Scientific Collaborator, co-founder of the group for industrial plasmas in 1989 with Dr. Christoph Hollenstein. He is currently a researcher and lecturer in the Basic Plasma Physics and Applications group under Prof. Ivo Furno at the Swiss Plasma Center, EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland. He obtained a physics degree from Oxford University in 1981, and a doctorate from both Oxford and UKAEA Culham Laboratory in 1985. A postdoc on TCA tokamak in the Centre de Recherches en Physique des Plasmas at the EPFL was the springboard to industrial plasma research for the last 35 years. Prof. Ivo Furno is Adjunct Professor at the EPFL and leader of the Basic Plasma Physics and Applications (BPPA) group of the Swiss Plasma Center. He graduated in Nuclear Engineering from the Politecnico di Torino, Italy, in 1995 and then he received his PhD from the EPFL. He continued with a Postdoc at the Los Alamos National laboratory, where he studied magnetic reconnection on the Reconnection Scaling Experiment (RSX), before re-joining the EPFL in 2006. His research is marked by the use of human-scale, dedicated plasma devices to investigate the fundamental physics of plasmas under conditions ranging from fusion plasmas to plasmas of relevance for solar physics and to non-equilibrium cold plasmas for industrial and biological applications.

Additional Delivery Information (and some really important bits):
UK Delivery
Orders for delivery in the UK are normally despatched by Royal Mail, using the RM 48 Tracked Service with most orders delivered to you within a few days of placing your order with us. For larger parcels, Courier and Signed For delivery services may be used. Signed Books are shipped in our specially made book mailing cartons, with the books themselves wrapped in paper to protect them. Sometimes we may ship your order in several parts, particularly if you have 'Pre-Order' titles in your order or titles which are held in stock with our publishing partners.
The Really Important Bit: Because we use tracked, courier and signed for delivery services, please use an address at which your parcel can be received during the normal working day, for example, you may want to have your order delivered to your work address if you're not at home during the day.
First Item @ £3.75 (sometimes a shipping supplement may be added for particularly heavy books or specific postcodes*)
2 Items & over @ £5.00 in total
Another Really Important Bit: There are a number of Postcodes in the UK for which we will need to charge a shipping supplement, this will be calculated once we know the size and weight of the shipment. For these orders we will contact customers to agree a suitable and economic method of shipping. There may also be additional time required for delivery to some areas of the United Kingdom. Where possible, we will ship book orders (under 2kg) by Royal Mail to all UK postcodes. Large multiple book orders and books over 2kg are often shipped via APC Overnight or similar, regardless of Postcode.
Overseas Delivery
Shipments to EU countries:
First Item @ £15.00 (sometimes a shipping supplement will be added for particularly heavy books)
