plasma

name	plasma
description	Plasma physics reasoning and knowledge graph — extends landau-graph and electrodynamics with magnetized plasma waves, MHD stability, transport, laser-plasma interaction, and surface plasmonics from 10 standard textbooks.
unit_system	SI
unit_note	All formulas in this skill use SI units, following Chen, Stix, and Ginzburg. Landau-graph nodes use GAUSSIAN units. Conversion via `si-gaussian-conversion`. Bidirectional edges with electrodynamics skill allowed. No edges into landau-graph.

Plasma Physics Skill Graph

Extends landau-graph (kinetic theory) and electrodynamics (waveguides, nonlinear optics, strong-field) with the physics of ionized matter.
