Book Description
Intended for advanced students of physics, chemistry, and related disciplines, this text treats the quantum theory of atoms and ions within the framework of self-consistent fields. It treats the structure and spectra of atoms and ions, their behavior in external fields, and their interactions, including collisions; data needed for the analysis of collisions and other atomic processes are also included, making the book useful as a reference for researchers as well as students.
Editorial Reviews
Review
From the reviews:
“As a reference book on atomic physics, it is probably quite comprehensive. … A really good idea of the author has been to cover the basic principles in the main text of each chapter and reserve the last third of each chapter for … questions with detailed answers involving a large amount of mathematics. … it may be very useful for those who already have a profound understanding of atomic physics but want to refresh their knowledge … .” (Jan Posthumus, Physicalia, Vol. 26 (1), 2004)
