This book is a stop-gap contribution to the science and
technology of carbon plasmas and carbon vapors. It strives to cover two
strongly related fields: the molecular quantum theory of carbon plasmas
and carbon nanostructures; and the molecular and atomic spectroscopy of
such plasmas and vapors. These two fields of research are strongly
intertwined and thus reinforce one another.
Even though the use of carbon nanostructures is increasing by
the day and their practical uses are emerging, there is no modern
review on carbon plasmas, especially from molecular theoretical and
spectroscopic viewpoints. The importance of the present book is
therefore great from both educational and practical aspects. This
review might be the first step towards bringing such textbooks into
existence for university education. Similarly, for applied and
engineering works in carbon nanostructures, the book provides a
theoretical salient point for technologists in the field.
