Resonance Phenomena in Electronatom Collisions

by Mrignayani Kotecha (Editor), Richard L. Magin (Editor), Jeremy J. Mao (Editor)

This book covers polarization, alignment, and orientation effects in atomic collisions induced by electron, heavy particle, or photon impact.

This book covers polarization, alignment, and orientation effects in atomic collisions induced by electron, heavy particle, or photon impact. The first part of the book presents introductory chapters on light and particle polarization, experimental and computational methods, and the density matrix and state multipole formalism. Examples and exercises are included.

A variety of plasmas include molecules rather than only ions or atoms. Examples are ionospheres of the Earth and other planets, stellar atmospheres, gaseous discharges for use in various devices and processes, and fusion plasmas in the edge region.
