This course will provide new aspects of plasma concerning nonlinear electrostatic and

electromagnetic waves for their diverse applications in communications, radiation

generation, and particle acceleration. After completing this course the student will be in

the position to start research work in any of these fields. This will also help developing

the understanding in astrophysics.

55

Course Outcomes:

On completion of the course, the student should be able to:

Understand that using fundamental plasma parameters, under what conditions an ionised gas

consisting of charged particles (electrons and ions) can be treated as a plasma.

Able to distinguish the single particle approach, fluid approach and kinetic statistical

approach to describe different plasma phenomena.

able to determine the velocities, both fast and slow (drift velocities), of charged particles

moving in electric and magnetic fields that are either uniform or vary slowly in space and

time.

formulate the conditions for a plasma to be in a state of thermodynamic equilibrium, or non-

equilibrium, and analyse the stability of this equilibrium and account for the most important

plasma instabilities

explain the physical mechanism behind Landau damping and make calculations in this area

using kinetic theory

Objectives

Students would be able to understand the properties of condensed

materials and underlying principles of classical mechanics, quantum

mechanics, statistical mechanics and computers in order to develop the

understanding of condensed materials in terms of structure and dynamics

of the system under consideration. Students would be able to handle and

identify their own research problem independently and take part in

58

interdisciplinary research work.

Course Outcomes:

CO1 To train the students to think in terms of molecules and their interaction and to make

them understand how different kinds of matter are described mathematically and how

material properties can be predicted based on their structure.

CO2 To train the students in terms of different computational quantum theories and their

application to a number of model systems

CO3 To train the students in terms of different advanced quantum computational theories

and their application to a number of model systems.

CO4: Understand superconductivity in depth, on the basis of knowledge of advance

quantum mechanics and higher mathematical techniques.
