The field of vacuum arc plasma physics and technology is undergoing a renaissance, and this book describes novel applications of plasmas and ion/electron beams formed from vacuum arc discharges, especially in less conventional or emerging scientific areas such as new perspectives on vacuum arc phenomena, generation of high-charge-state metal ions, heavy ion accelerator injection, multi-layer thin film synthesis, biological applications, generation of high-current / high-density electron beams, and more.
