Description for The Fundamentals of Atomic and Molecular Physics
Paperback. This book treats complex atoms in detail, beginning with the two-electron atom and moving to carbon without the need for additional equations. Discusses spontaneous emission from an atom or molecule in an excited state using time-dependent perturbation theory. Series: Undergraduate Lecture Notes in Physics. Num Pages: 189 pages, 24 black & white illustrations, 20 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PHM. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 236 x 156 x 13. Weight in Grams: 302.
The Fundamentals of Atomic and Molecular Physics is intended as an introduction to the field for advanced undergraduates who have taken quantum mechanics. Each chapter builds upon the previous, using the same tools and methods throughout. As the students progress through the book, their ability to use these tools will steadily increase, along with their confidence in their efficacy. The book treats the two-electron atom as the simplest example of the many-electron atom—as opposed to using techniques that are not applicable to many-electron atoms—so that it is unnecessary to develop additional equations when turning to multielectron atoms, such as carbon. ...
