Fundamentals of Charged Particle Transport in Gases and Condensed Matter

This book offers a comprehensive and cohesive overview of transport processes associated with all kinds of charged particles, including electrons, ions, positrons, and muons, in both gases and condensed matter. The emphasis is on fundamental physics, linking experiment, theory and applications. In particular, the authors discuss:

• The kinetic theory of gases, from the traditional Boltzmann equati...
