Atomic Physics

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This text provides an introduction and treatment of atomic structure; discusses quantum mechanics, atomic spectra and the theory of interaction between atoms and radiation; examines more complex atoms and atomic structure in general; and concludes with a treatment of quantum optics.

---

Using the quantum approach to the subject of atomic physics, this text keeps the mathematics to the minimum needed for a clear and comprehensive understanding of the material
