Physics of Atoms and Ions

More about the book

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.
