This introduction to Atomic and Molecular Physics explains how our present model of atoms and molecules has been developed during the last two centuries by many experimental discoveries and from the theoretical side by the introduction of quantum physics to the adequate description of micro-particles. It illustrates the wave model of particles by many examples and shows the limits of classical description. The interaction of electromagnetic radiation with atoms and molecules and its potential for spectroscopy is outlined in more detail and in particular lasers as modern spectroscopic tools are discussed more thoroughly. Many examples and problems with solutions should induce the reader to an intense active cooperation.

Aus den Rezensionen:
"Bestes Anfängerlehrbuch. Die englischsprachige Einführung in Atome, Moleküle und Festkörper ist wie das deutsche Vorbild gleichen Namens im Aufbau übersichtlich und durchdringt auch die für viele Studierende der ersten Semester bedrohlich wirkende Quantenphysik Schritt für Schritt. Zur Vorbereitung auf die Prüfungen der ersten vier Semester ist das Buch daher bestens geeignet. ... Der Anfänger ... wird sich mit diesem Band bestens bedient fühlen, sei es nun in Deutschland oder im englischsprachigen Ausland." (http://buchkatalog.de)

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The chapter on schrodinger equation is very short and to my mind boring.
Stick with the Eisberg, I waste my money in this book, there are better books out there.
