FEF3340 Applied Plasma Physics, Project Course 10.0 credits
Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
The content is decided on a case by case basis by the PhD advisor in cooperation with the course coordinator.
Intended learning outcomes
After completed course the students should have knowledge of the research results, particular techniques, and applications both broadly in applied plasma physics, and with focus on the subject area of the thesis.
Literature and preparations
Specific prerequisites
MSc level mathematics and physics, and preferably Applied Plasma Physics or equivalent.
Recommended prerequisites
Equipment
Literature
The literature is decided on a case by case basis. If the student is lacking parts (or all of) the prerequisite course EF2270, this can be included in the curriculum. Examples of suitable literature with different orientation within this wide field are.
- Liebermann, M. A., and Lichtenberg A. J., Principles of plasma discharges and materials processing, John Wiley and Sons, New York, 1994. (Materials science)
- Roth, R., Industrial Plasma Engineering, Volume 2, Applications, Institute of Physic Publishing ltd. (A broad overview of industrial plasma sources)
- Fridman, A., 2004, Plasma Physics and Engineering, Taylor and Francis, 2004.
- C. Grabbe (Editor), Plasma Physics Applied, Transworld Research Network, 2006. (Plasma chemistry including combustion)
- Nezlin, M. V., Physics of Intense Beams in Plasmas, IOP Publishing, Bristol, 1993 (Beams and plasma wave particle accelerators).
Examination and completion
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Grading scale
Examination
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
Other requirements for final grade
Seminar(s) given by the student, and one final oral exam.
Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary examination
Opportunity to raise an approved grade via renewed examination
Examiner
Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
