The Physics of Atoms and Quanta Introduction to Experiments and Theory

The Physics of Atoms and Quanta is a thorough introduction to experiments and theory in this field. Every classical and modern aspect is covered and discussed in detail. As this text ends with the fundamentals of classical bonding, it leads into the second and more advanced book by the same authors...

520 |a The Physics of Atoms and Quanta is a thorough introduction to experiments and theory in this field. Every classical and modern aspect is covered and discussed in detail. As this text ends with the fundamentals of classical bonding, it leads into the second and more advanced book by the same authors entitled Molecular Physics and Elements of Quantum Chemistry. This 5th edition includes new developments, for example the detection of antihydrogen and the production of very highly ionised atoms. Here, the student will find 160 problems and their solutions, which make this book a real study text
