Z-pinch belongs to one of the most fascinating plasma objects due to its simplicity, natural occurrence and variety of applications. This book focuses on a Z-pinch formed from a carbon fibre with a few micrometers in diameter. On the one hand, a large number of papers are devoted to studies of Z-pinches initiated from a high atomic number metal wire. On the other hand, no systematic effort has been made to study a Z-pinch initiated from a carbon fibre in vacuum using a simple capacitor bank. This work presents the description of carbon fibre Z-pinch dynamics and it shows that unique...
