Abstract
Solids, liquids and gases have been studied for centuries and the boundaries between these states of matter are clearly defined and well understood. Low density plasmas have also been extensively studied in the laboratory and although the boundary between an “ideal classical plasma” and a gas is less clearly defined, the properties of plasmas are such that they are very different from either solids, liquids or gases. Plasmas have often been considered as a fourth state of matter.
