Physics of Atoms and Ions

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the quantum theory of atoms and ions, this advanced text explores their structure, spectra, and behavior in external fields and interactions, including collisions. It employs self-consistent fields and the shell model to present a coherent understanding of atomic properties. The book is structured in two parts: the first examines atoms and ions as quantum systems, while the second addresses particle interactions and collisions. It includes practical data and problems for deeper comprehension, making it a valuable resource for both students and researchers.
