About this title

Synopsis

"The Physics of Atoms and Quanta" is presented here in its fourth edition which is now identical with the 5th German edition. It is written primarily for undergraduates in physics and chemistry: the student will find here a total of 160 problems and their solutions. This textbook gives a unique introduction to both experiments and theory in this field. Recent developments have been included, and the book is therefore also directed at active researchers needing an up-to-date reference book.

From the Back Cover

The third edition had already been enlarged by the inclusion of new developments such as the direct observation of individual atoms in Paul traps, and of atoms in molecules on solid surfaces using the scanning tunneling microscope. Furthermore, new experiments in atomic interferometry and the possibility of laser cooling of atomic beams were added. The fourth English edition takes minor corrections and additions into account and remains a unique introduction to both experiments and theory of the physics of atoms and quanta. The student will find 160 problems and their solutions, making this book a real study text.
