Overview

This introduction to Atomic and Molecular Physics explains how our present model of atoms and molecules has been developed over the last two centuries, both by many experimental discoveries and, from the theoretical side, by the introduction of quantum physics to the adequate description of micro-particles. It illustrates the wave model of particles by many examples and shows the limits of classical description. The interaction of electromagnetic radiation with atoms and molecules and its potential for spectroscopy is outlined in great detail and, in particular, lasers as modern spectroscopic tools are discussed thoroughly. Many examples and problems with solutions are offered to encourage readers to actively participate in applying and adapting the theory to specific situations.

From the reviews: <p> This book is an outstanding introduction to Atomic, Molecular and Quantum Physics. It reflects the authora (TM)s detailed knowledge of and very many years of scholarship in the field. I find it to be well written a ] . The text has very many pertinent diagrams that elucidate the mathematical equations and physical interactions under discussion. a ] I believe that this book is a valuable addition to the texts on the topic a ] . It is a very worthwhile addition to the library shelves. (John Holdsworth, Australian Physics, Vol. 32 (6), 2007)

Aus den Rezensionen: ""Bestes Anfangerlehrbuch. Die englischsprachige Einfuhrung in Atome, Molekule und Festkorper ist wie das deutsche Vorbild gleichen Namens im Aufbau ubersichtlich und durchdringt auch die fur viele Studierende der ersten Semester bedrohlich wirkende Quantenphysik Schritt fur Schritt. Zur Vorbereitung auf die Prufungen der ersten vier Semester ist das Buch daher bestens geeignet. ... Der Anfanger ... wird sich mit diesem Band bestens bedient fuhlen, sei es nun in Deutschland oder im englischsprachigen Ausland.""
