The Physical Basis of Polarized Emission

C D Clark

Published Sep 1, 1962• 196 citations
Publisher

Abstract

By P. P. Feofilov London: Hey wood and Co. Ltd. Pp. xii + 274. Price £5 5s. This book, which is a translation of the original Russian text first published by The State Physico–Mathematical Press in Moscow in 1959, is written in an easy style. It is a good introduction to polarized emission by one who has carried out research in the subject for many years, and it surveys in turn the fluorescence of atoms, diatomic and complex molecules, and of solids.

Introduction to Quantum Electronics

Rodney C. Greenhow

P A Lindsay London: Pitman 1975 pp xi + 202 price £6 In this book the author surveys a wide range of interactions between radiation and matter. The first four chapters cover such standard undergraduate topics as electromagnetic radiation and its sources, line broadening, black body radiation, Einstein coefficients, polarization of gases and solids, atomic structure and spectroscopy.

The Theory of Polarization Phenomena

J. Byrne

B A Robson London: Oxford University Press 1975 pp viii + 119 price £5.50 Some decades back Jones and Mueller developed their distinctive matrix calculi for treating polarization effects in classical optics, building on techniques reaching back to Stokes more than a century ago. In this little book the author describes the extension of these methods to the study of polarization phenomena, for spin ½ and spin 1 particles in particular, but with appropriate generalization to systems of arbitrary spin.

Principles of Modern Physics

Guilherme Wyllie

By A. P. French New York : John Wiley and Sons, Inc. ; London : Chapman and Hall, Ltd. Pp. ix + 355. Price 54s. This is a very useful book indeed. If one compares it with two widely used texts, Slater's Modern Physics and Born's Atomic Physics, this book is more advanced and comprehensive than Slater's, less so than Born's.

Optical Physics

J.W.C. Gates

S.G. Lipson and H. Lipson London: Cambridge University Press. 1969 Pp. xiii + 494. Price £3 15s. This is intended as a textbook for advanced undergraduates and graduates in physics, and for others starting in a research which will require a knowledge of optical principles, but it only claims "to help in understanding" more basic texts. Some topics have been chosen from parts of the field of physics which are not normally regarded as 'optical' to emphasize the relevance of optical principles in those branches.

Quantum Theory of Matter - A Novel Introduction

Heimo G. Latal

ISBN: 0 471 96364 X Although the author claims to have written a `novel introduction' to the quantum theory of matter, this book is certainly just one of a wealth of books on that subject appearing on the market every year. What is really novel about the presentation is that the more `formal aspects' of quantum mechanics, especially a discussion of the Schrodinger equation, are relegated to an appendix, while in the text only specific solutions to that fundamental equation are discussed. On the other hand, the book certainly provides an extensive outline of various applications of quantum mechanics to atoms, molecules and solids. On the atomic level even the emission of light, spin and many electron atoms are treated; similarly on the molecular scale the most important aspects are presented. Almost one half of the book is devoted to the quantum theory of solids, and here the range of topics includes, of course, the band model and its various implications, but also surfaces and non-crystalline solids. Due to the aim of the book the author had to present various complex situations in an abbreviated form, thereby sometimes losing the rigour of the necessary proof of the statements. But, taken altogether, the book will provide the reader with an overall view, and sometimes an in-depth discussion, of the quantum world of atoms, molecules and solids. Somewhat distracting might be the large number of footnotes collected at the end of each chapter; of advantage, however, are the selections of problems there.

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.
