Elements of Maser Theory

Abstract

By Arthur A. Vuylsteke London: D. Van Nostrand Co. Ltd. Pp. xiii + 362. Price 71s. 6d. In his preface to this comprehensive book the author points out that in "the relatively new science of Quantum Electronics which has as its primary aim the practical utilization of the quantum behaviour of matter ... it is necessary to combine, in a more obvious fashion than has heretofore been apparent, the principles and techniques of a number of allied but distinct disciplines ". To define and map out the ground which the practitioners of these " allied but distinct disciplines " must make common, Dr. Vuylsteke has written this volume " in which the necessary, basic physical theories are presented as an introduction to a rather complete discussion of that part of maser theory which is most basic and which is presently well understood ".

Microwave Solid State Masers

J D Craggs

By A. E. Siegman London: McGraw-Hill Publishing Co. Ltd. 1964. Pp. 582. Price 143s. 6d. This is a postgraduate book, partly for electronics engineers, who would find a good deal of the material difficult, because it is a comprehensive account of the subject which demands a good deal of familiarity with quantum mechanics. The contents include chapters on internal structure and energy levels of atoms, the magnetic properties of atoms, energy levels of paramagnetic maser materials, paramagnetic resonance and the dynamics of spin systems, the three level solid state maser and travelling wave maser.

Introduction to the Quantum Theory

David L Hurd

David Park McGraw-Hill Publishing Co. Ltd. 1964. Pp. xv + 547. Price 83s. 6d. There are surely few branches of physics which have been so amply, and repetitively, documented as the basic principles of quantum mechanics. Suppressing an almost overwhelming impression of déjà vu, one opens this new entry to the field to find that the text is so organized as to present the discussion of the theory in Part I, and to segregate the applications to Part II, an arrangement for which there is much to be said and which, when as thoughtfully carried out as in the example under review, allows the student, and the lecturer, the opportunity to mix his own blend of theory and application.

The Solid State Maser

C R Ditchfield

J W Orton, D H Paxman and J C Walling Oxford: Pergamon 1970 pp ix + 280 price £2.25 (cloth) £1.75 (paper) This book, one of the 'Selected readings in physics' series, introduces the theory of solid state masers and then presents some of the important papers on the subject, to illustrate the way in which development occurred. The first chapter of part I covers the theory of interaction between radiation and matter, leading to the basic equations for the transition rates between the populations of energy levels on which maser action depends.

Electrons in Atoms

Lewis Elton

By G. F. Lothian London: Butterworth and Co. Ltd . Pp. x + 196. Price 35s. 1963. There are already several books on the market which 'lead the university student to an understanding, fairly early in his course, of the way in which quantum theory answers the questions posed by experimental observations'. This, however, is not one of them, for although it covers an enormous amount of ground it is not likely to lead to real understanding.

ReviewsAn Introduction to the Quantum Theory. By TempleG., Ph.D., D.Sc. (London: Williams and Norgate Ltd.) 195 pp., 12 figs. Price 12s. 6d.

This book is a mathematical study of the new quantum theory, designed for those who are new to the subject. In the first four chapters the treatment may be described as classical. The notation employed is that familiar to all students of physics.
