This book offers a cohesive overview on fundamental concepts and experimental approaches for transport of charged particles in gases and condensed matter. It covers electrons, ions, positrons, muons, and explains the connection between microscopic events (collision phenomena) and macroscopic measurements of currents in a non-equilibrium environment. The authors clearly develop basics from the kinetic theory of gases to key tools including fluid modeling and numerical calculations, and experimental methods such as measurement of transport coefficients in swarm experiments, concluding with key applications in plasma processing, biomedical imaging, and solid-state electronics.
