Barrier discharges are widely applied sources of non-thermal cold plasmas used in ozone production, surface treatment, flow control or medicine. The intended book will cover the up-to-date experimental and theoretical knowledge of the underlying physical and chemical mechanisms and processes crucial for understanding the barrier discharges. Besides the introductory chapters, aimed to a broader readership, this book will also focus on the selection of proper methods of plasma diagnostics and modelling required for understanding the barrier discharge plasma for intended application on appropriate level of approximation.
