Features of the different plasmas.

Low Temperature Plasma High Temperature Plasma
Thermal Plasma
Te ≈Ti ≈Tg ~104 °C
ne ~1020 m−3
Non Thermal Plasma
Ti « Te ~104 °C
ne ≤ 1020 m−3
Warm Plasma
Tg ~103 °C
Cold Plasma
Tg ~102 °C
Te ≈Ti > 107 °C
ne ≥ 1020 m−3
example: arc plasma at normal pressure example: gliding arc plasma example: low temperature glow discharge example: fusion plasma

Te—electron temperature; Ti—ion temperature; Tg—gas temperature; ne—electron density.
