Overview

Based on lectures given by the author at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, this second edition of Sobelman's standard guide to atomic spectroscopy covers the systematics of atomic spectra and radiative transitions. Also discussed are continuous spectrum radiation, excitation of atoms and spectral line broadening. The theory of atomic structure is based on Racah techniques in angular momentum theory and the Racah method of fractional parentage coefficients. Additional chapters on relativistic corrections in the spectra of highly charged ions round out the previous treatment. In dealing with radiation processes, the application of atomic spectroscopy to plasma diagnostics, astrophysics and laser physics is stressed. Extensive tables of oscillator strengths (both dipole and quadrupole), probabilities and cross-sections of radiative transitions complete this textbook.
