Atomic Physics

J M Irvine

Published Nov 1, 1975• 0 citations
Publisher

Abstract

J C Willmott Chichester: J Wiley 1975 pp xiv + 357 price £8.50 ( cased ) £4.25 ( paperback ) This book is another in the Manchester Physics Series of textbooks and is intended for students in their second year of an honours physics course at an English university. The book follows the conventional historical approach to the subject beginning with the experimental evidence for atomicity and the breakdown of classical physics; an introduction to wave mechanics followed by an elementary account of angular momentum in quantal systems and applications to the hydrogen atom.

Stephen Gasiorowicz Chichester: J Wiley 1974 pp xiii + 514 price £9 Though designed as an introductory book, and clearly and agreeably presented, the overall flavour is that of a more advancedtext. The reviewer, an admirer of the author's previous book on elementary particles, suspects that the mix here was most stimulating in the lecture course from which the book springs, but that it is less appropriate to a textbook.

Introduction to Atomic and Nuclear Physics

A Ashmore

Fourth Edition By Henry Semat London: Chapman and Hall Ltd . 1963. Pp. x + 628. Price 70s. Students of physics are usually introduced to wave mechanics during their first course on atomic and nuclear physics. Such a course cannot, therefore, make much use of the wave mechanics and has to be largely descriptive in its treatment of the subject.

Modern Physics – The Quantum Physics of Atoms, Solids and Nuclei (3rd edn)

Christopher John Isham

Robert L Sproull and W Andrew Phillips 1980 Chichester: John Wiley xi + 682 pp price £16 The new edition of this nicely produced work has been significantly extended and updated. It is clearly aimed at physics and engineering students who are near the beginning of their courses and requires very little prior mathematical or physics knowledge beyond that contained in the first term of a typical physics degree.

Quantum mechanics - concepts and applications

Helmut Rechenberg

The book is designed to serve as an `upper-level one-semester course in Quantum mechanics for students majoring in physics or related topics'. To that purpose the author has organised the contents into roughly six parts, giving first a historical introduction into quanta and matter waves, then the solution of the Schrödinger equations in one, and subsequently in three dimensions; in a fourth part spin and the concept of identical particles are explained, whilst in the next the approximation (perturbation) methods and their application to atomic systems and the creation and transfer of radiations. Finally there are two chapters on molecular and solid state physics. Each chapter is accompanied by a selection of appropriate problems. Appendix, index plus diskette are provided. As the author states, the topics and examples were taken from his other (successful) book, Introduction to Modern Physics . It appears to the reviewer that the present account may indeed serve as a first introduction into the elementary aspects of quantum mechanics, with particular emphasis on explaining the basic concepts (like spin, statistics, even the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox). Addressed are the slightly advanced students of science. The language is clear, the formal apparatus does not overwhelm the reader, and the figures have been carefully selected and drawn. We do recommend the book for the purpose envisaged. It raises the appetite for a more systematic and extended study of the subject.

Modern Physics and Quantum Mechanics

D H Tomlin

E Anderson London: W B Sounders 1971 pp xi + 430 price £6·20 The book is intended for use at senior undergraduate level in an American university, though the first few chapters deal with material likely to have been included in a more elementary course on modern physics. The author's declared aim is to bridge a gap between the more elementary, descriptive type of course and advanced applications of quantum mechanics at postgraduate level.

Hydrogen Atom

Arjun Berera, Luigi Del Debbio

Designed for a two-semester advanced undergraduate or graduate level course, this distinctive and modern textbook provides students with the physical intuition and mathematical skills to tackle even complex problems in quantum mechanics with ease and fluency. Beginning with a detailed introduction to quantum states and Dirac notation, the book then develops the overarching theoretical framework of quantum mechanics, before explaining physical quantum mechanical properties such as angular momentum and spin. Symmetries and groups in quantum mechanics, important components of current research, are covered at length. The second part of the text focuses on applications, and includes a detailed chapter on quantum entanglement, one of the most exciting modern applications of quantum mechanics, and of key importance in quantum information and computation. Numerous exercises are interspersed throughout the text, expanding upon key concepts and further developing students' understanding. A fully worked solutions manual and lecture slides are available for instructors.
