Atoms And Their Spectroscopic Properties

Build a strong foundation in physical chemistry and learn the science behind molecules, reactions, & the physical world

Authors: Bonnelle, Christiane, Spector, Nissan
This monograph will explore the recently discovered complex character of f states in materials such as delta-plutonium
This book facilitates the need for a general discussion on the entire body of experimental results available to physicists who work in this challenging
Includes examples of numerous applications of lanthanide and actinide materials in electronic and nuclear technologies

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.
