Low-temperature Plasmas

Low-Temperature Plasmas is a class of weakly ionized, often strongly non-equilibrium plasmas in which the bulk gas (and ion) temperature remains near ambient and far below both the electron temperature and the characteristic thermal ionization temperature of the gas, so that ionization is maintained predominantly by energetically accelerated electrons rather than by thermal equilibrium.
