Physics of Atoms and Molecules 2nd Edition by B. H. Bransden | (PDF) Free Download

Description

The study of atomic and molecular physics is a key component of undergraduate courses in physics, because of its fundamental importance to the understanding of many aspects of modern physics. The aim of this new edition is to provide a unified account of the subject within an undergraduate framework, taking the opportunity to make improvements based on the teaching experience of the users of the first edition, and cover important new developments in the subject.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Seems to have everything I could need, and has been really great for my graduate amo course. Just… very big haha.

⭐Outstanding book on the subject. Deep and vast. A very useful ‘tool’ for those working on atomic physics. Some chapters can be used in a introductory course on modern physics.

⭐Very few books inspire the awe I feel for the authors of this book.The sheer volume and depth of material is astonishing. I simply cannot comprehend how two people managed to produce such a monumental piece of work.The math is there but in a very pragmatic form. The conceptual explanations are clear and comprehensible. Physics at this level is “just one approximation method after another” but they explain the reasons for the different methods used and their limitations very clearly.A must have for anyone working in this field.

⭐This book is comprehensive, updated, and enjoysthe ineffable insight and clarity of a realinstitution in the field: prof. C. J. Joachain.A definite plus is that the discussions aredisseminated with a lot of references to theliterature, so it can work as a good introductionto any of the manifold fields treated.It is true, though, that it is not extremely advanced,nor very general in its derivations, therefore ifyou are looking for THE “summa theologica”, perhapsthis is not what you are looking for.

⭐This is an excellent textbook, with a very comprehensive compilation of standard and more modern concepts on atomic and molecular physics. We use this book for the course “Atomic and Molecular Physics” of the Degree of Physics, at the University of Seville, Spain. I congratulate the authors for this wonderful work!

⭐This book contains a complete program on the atomic and molecular physics field, where the concepts are correctly explained, not leaving behind the formalism but making them easy to follow and understand for the student. I would like to leave a note on what I think is a very small number of examples, which sometimes would help to make the explanations and concepts more digestible.So far, I had used the first edition, and this 2nd edition, while more complete and reformatted, has not changed too much the good book it has always been.On another note, I simply can’t understand how difficult it is to find/purchase this book anywhere else out of amazon. Even in the publishing house I had troubles trying to purchase it! Eventually, Amazon was the answer (a bit more expensive but not a huge difference) and I have no regrets. It was delivered way before the expected date and that is a thumbs-up in my opinion.It is surprising because in every field of each science, there are always a few basic books that should be available -almost- everywhere, and in the field of atomic physics, this is definitely one.

⭐The copy I got arrived bent and the pages are already peeling away from the spine. unfortunately, this book doesn’t seem to be widely available for some reason so I don’t really have the option to return and get a different copy. Kinda sucks to spend almost a hundred bucks for this. My experience buying books through amazon has gone down considerably judging from my last few purchases. Good book content though.

⭐it already bwecame the standard book in the first edition, the second edition has even added to this.

⭐Very complete and clear review of the topics with good references to the literature for people who want to go further. Experimental results are used to guide the reader through the theory. Used to love it as a student.

⭐Perfect arrival and content

⭐You must go through this book if you are going to do research on atomic or molecular physics branch. Before starting with the book you need a good insight in quantum mechanics (at least at the level of Griffiths, if possible Sakurai). The book contains a lot of basic and advanced information that an atomic physicist needs for. A lot of practice problems are also available.

⭐Il testo è molto ampio e tocca numerosi aspetti della Fisica della Materia, partendo sommariamente da alcune basi preliminari della meccanica quantistica (equazione di Schrodinger, atomo di idrogeno, etc. con la consapevolezza di conoscenze pregresse da parte del lettore) per poi approfondire questioni più vicine alla struttura atomica e molecolare (atomi a molti elettroni, molecole, etc.), concludendo gli ultimi capitoli con problemi di scattering e l’analisi dei laser. Non eccezionale, ma esaustivo il più delle volte.
