Download or read book Radiative Processes in Atomic Physics written by Vladimir Pavlovich Kraĭnov and published by Wiley-VCH. This book was released on 1997-08 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers advanced students and researchers an up-to-date quantum treatment of the interaction of atoms with electromagnetic radiation. Problems and solutions are used to develop concepts, terminology, and the principal results of the quantum theory of radiative processes in atoms. Concepts covered include: radiative transitions between discrete states in atomic systems, atomic photoprocesses involving free particles, coherent phenomena in radiative transitions, extensive treatment of line-broadening mechanisms, atoms in strong fields and theory of angular momentum.
