中文课程简介

作为物质的第四种状态，经估计有多达99.9％的宇宙物质由等离子体构成。等离子体物理学是现代物理学中的一门综合学科。该课程我们将为本科生提供等离子体物理的介绍，包括基础定义和参数、等离子体中的单粒子运动、动力学等离子体描述和磁流体动力学（MHD）， 此外，还将介绍与核聚变（等离子体）和天体物理等离子体有关的例子，以激发同学们对该领域的兴趣。

英文课程简介

As the fourth state of matter,it is estimated that as much as 99.9% of the universe is comprised of plasma. Plasma physics is a comprehensive subject of modern physics. In this lecture course, we will provide a general introduction of the plasma physics to the undergraduate students. The basic definitions and parameters, single particle motion in plasma, kinetic plasma descriptions and magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) will be covered. The examples related to nuclear fusion (plasmas) and astrophysics plasmas will be introduced as well. We intend to inspire the young students about the very rich physics phenomena in this fascinating subject.
