The Physics of Atoms and Quanta: Introduction to Experiments and Theory (Advanced Texts in Physics) by Hermann Haken | (PDF) Free Download

Description

The highly positive affirmation and wide reception that this book continues to receive from professors and students ahke is the occasion for this 7th edition. Once again we have included a number of valuable suggestions for improvements, which we address as appropriate. In addition, we refer to a number of developments in atomic physics. Of these new developments in regard to exotic atoms, we mention antihydrogen in par­ ticular, because fundamental experiments in matter and antimatter can be expected in the future. Furthermore, we have inserted a chapter on the behaviour of atoms in strong elec­ trical fields. Experiments with corresponding lasers could only recently be realized. We thank our Jenaer colleague, R. Sauerbrey, for his contribution of this chapter. We have also included a new chapter on the behaviour of the hydrogen atom in strong magnetic fields. The results are of profound interest for two very different fields of physics: on the one hand, according to classical physics, one expects chaotic behaviour from Rydberg atoms in magnetic fields that can be created in the laborato­ ry; thus, an association can be drawn to aspects of chaos theory and the problems of quantum chaos. On the other hand, the very strong fields necessary for low quantum numbers are realized in the cosmos, in particular with white dwarfs and neutron stars.

User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: Review “This book gives a coherent presentation of both the experiemntal and the theoretical aspects of these subjects…. the authors take the opportunity of each new edition to include the latest development in this very active field… I recommend this book unreservedly for its high pedagogical value” From the Back Cover The Physics of Atoms and Quanta is a thorough introduction to experiments and theory in this field. Every classical and modern aspect is included and discussed in detail. The new edition is completely revised, new sections on atoms in strong electric fields and high magnetic fields complete the comprehensive coverage of all topics related to atoms and quanta.All new developments, such as new experiments on quantum entanglement, the quantum computer, quantum information, the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradoxon, Bell’s inequality, Schrödinger’s cat, decoherence, Bose-Einstein-Condensation and the atom laser are discussed. Over 170 problems and their solutions help deepen the insight in this subject area and make this book a real study text. The second and more advanced book by the same authors entitled “Molecular Physics and Elements of Quantum Chemistry” is the completion of this unique textbook.

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

⭐Text is clearly written and covers relevant topics for advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate students. Problems have been relevant to text material and at a level appropriate to the written text. Beginning chapters are clearly redundant with most Modern Physics texts, but still appropriate for setting up the Atomic Physics chapters in the text. My current knowledge of the book is overwhelmingly positive and it would encourage me to recommend it to others looking for this material.Amazon provided the text in excellent condition within their specified time frame and at their advertized price.

⭐Thank you very much for your help. The book is great and has been preserved well for two decades. I enjoy doing business with with you again Sir, (Ma’am).

⭐This book is indeed clear and easy to read and undoubtedly useful for advanced undergraduates and I imagine it would be a good review for would-be postgraduates. It also introduces more advanced topics, such as the Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations and introduces many topical issues. Very good at conveying the mathematical ‘tricks of the trade’ but unlike so many texts on quantum physics, this book is actually a physics book! Not only does it deal with the mathematical structure of the theory, but it has a satisfying and detailed presentation of the experiments! It is also superbly illustrated (as all text books should be!). I find that too many authours these days seem to care more for the maths than the physics – let us not forget what physics is for! In my mind this is one of the best advanced undergraduate quantum physics texts that I have seen. It is also a great educational work – solutions to problems are provided which is essential for self-study, which this book is admirably suited for (in addition to being quite suitable for directly supporting a taught course). This book is very student friendly, a rare thing these days, and far more readable and entertaining than many other books on quantum physics.

⭐I bought this and gave it to my clever daughter for her Physics degree. I wouldn’t have understood much of it myself but she found it useful.
