Description
Martino Fine Books Quantum Mechanics of One- And Two-Electron Atoms by Hans A Bethe Edwin E Salpeter
2014 Reprint of 1957 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This classic of modern physics includes a vast array of approximation methods mathematical tricks and physical pictures that are also useful in the application of quantum mechanics to other fields. Students and professionals should find it an essential reference for calculations pertaining to hydrogenlike and heliumlike atoms and their comparison with experimental results. Indepth explorations of the Dirac theory of the electron and of radiative effects include brief accounts of relevant experiments. The specific application of general fieldtheoretic results to atomic systems also receives a thorough examination. Author Hans A. Bethe (19062005) Professor of Physics at Cornell University won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1967. Coauthor Edwin E. Salpeter is James Gilbert White Distinguished Professor of the Physical Sciences at Cornell University.show more
