If you are searching for recommendations for material go to science textbook subforum. Just in short:
Plasma is a state of matter along with fluid, solid, gas like. It is ionized gas.

can you give me a link ? (i'm new in forum)
 
For material? It depends on what you are trying to do. Are you looking for a maths based site(pdf...) or a basic introduction to plasma and plasma jets?

heheh i need full information about that i have one month time to research about plasma jet ... and 3 months later i should make a full reseach (Thesis)
our lessons are like university they are so hard ... and i know i can learn it only give me a full topic or pdf about plasma and plasma jet tnx :)
(i'm only 17 years old and i know you wondered about that ... but it's one of our easy researches :D
 
There do not seem to be any usefull pdf's I can find. Additionally I do not know that much about the field I just know about plasma, sorry. There will cirtenly be good books in the library of your shool? or University or in online bookshops of they do not have some in odinary books shops. May the force be with you!
