The term “plasma” was first used by Langmuir for the state of a gas which is fully ionised (for example, the high solar atmosphere) or only partially ionised, (for example, the ionosphere). Our main interest in this course will be the diffusion of ions in such a plasma, arising form non-uniformity of composition, of pressure gradients or electric fields.
