Modern Atomic Physics 1st Edition by Vasant Natarajan | (PDF) Free Download

Description

Much of our understanding of physics in the last 30-plus years has come from research on atoms, photons, and their interactions. Collecting information previously scattered throughout the literature, Modern Atomic Physics provides students with one unified guide to contemporary developments in the field.After reviewing metrology and preliminary material, the text explains core areas of atomic physics. Important topics discussed include the spontaneous emission of radiation, stimulated transitions and the properties of gas, the physics and applications of resonance fluorescence, coherence, cooling and trapping of charged and neutral particles, and atomic beam magnetic resonance experiments. Covering standards, a different way of looking at a photon, stimulated radiation, and frequency combs, the appendices avoid jargon and use historical notes and personal anecdotes to make the topics accessible to non-atomic physics students.Written by a leader in atomic and optical physics, this text gives a state-of-the-art account of atomic physics within a basic quantum mechanical framework. It shows students how atomic physics has played a key role in many other areas of physics.

User’s Reviews

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

⭐The explanations are crisp and thorough, and the amount of prior knowledge assumed is appropriate for a beginning graduate student. The first half is your standard atomic physics course (two-level atom, dressed states, atomic structure, etc). The second half cover in detail some important topics that instructors typically gloss over (lineshapes, and multiphoton/multilevel/multiatom processes and their coherent phenomena) and is written in a very accessible manner. Perhaps to compete with existing texts, this book also devotes two chapters to common techniques for cooling/trapping, and spectroscopy. There are four nice pop-science style essays in the appendices. Solutions to all problems are provided within the book.While this book is an exemplar of masterful pedagogy, I feel that some discussions could have delved deeper, so that it serves not only as an excellent textbook, but also a useful reference for more experienced atomic physicists.
