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...

Die 5. Auflage wurde um wesentliche aktuelle Entwicklungen experimenteller Methoden und theoretischer Ansatze erweitert. Neu sind Abschnitte zu Molekularen Funktionseinheiten, Optischer Spektroskopie und Elektrolumineszenz. 133 Aufgaben vervollstandigen das Buch. Die dazugehorigen Losungen konnen im Internet abgerufen werden.

This volume contains extended abstracts of the 10 plenary lectures, 27 invited symposium lectures and ap- proximately 300 contributed papers that were presented at the 25th Congress Ampere. The contributions cover the full range of magnetic resonance and radiospectroscopy and their applications in physics, chemical physics, medicine and biology. Advanced NMR and ESR techniques are treated, as are their applications to novel materials.

This fourth edition contains a few additional figures. Otherwise only typographical er rors have been removed. The final chapter on Fundamentals of the Quantum Theory of Chemical Bonding is continued in an extended way in the textbook Molecular Physics and Elements of Quantum Chemistry by the same authors. This book contains, in particular, a profound presentation of group theory as applied to atoms and molecules. Furthermore, the in teraction between atoms and molecules and light is treated in detail. We thank again Springer-Verlag, in particular Dr. H.1. Kblsch and Mr. C.-D. Bachem for...

Dieses Lehrbuch wendet sich an Studenten der Physik, der Naturwissenschaften oder der Elektrotechnik ab 3. Semester. Die Atomphysik und die dazugeh rige Quantenphysik bilden die Grundlage f r viele moderne Gebiete der Physik, der Chemie, Biologie wie auch der Elektrotechnik. Es f hrt sorgf ltig und leicht verst ndlich in die Ergebnisse und Methoden der empirischen Atomphysik ein. Gleichzeitig wird dem Leser das R stzeug der Quantentheorie vermittelt, wobei die Wechselwirkung zwischen Experiment und Theorie besonders herausgearbeitet wird. Die Autoren haben die neuesten Resultate mit ber...

Atomic physics and its underlying quantum theory are the point of departure for many modern areas of physics, astrophysics, chemistry, biology, and even electrical engineering. This textbook provides a careful and eminently readable introduction to the results and methods of empirical atomic physics. The student will acquire the tools of quantum physics and at the same time learn about the interplay between experiment and theory. A chapter on the quantum theory of the chemical bond provides the reader with an introduction to molecular physics. Plenty of problems are given to elucidate the...
