Description
A Student's Guide to Atomic Physics by Mark Fox provides a clear and concise introduction to the fundamental principles of atomic physics at an undergraduate level. The book covers key concepts, including the quantum theory of the hydrogen atom, radiative transitions, and the shell model of multi-electron atoms, in an intuitive and accessible way. The book also explores four key applications of atomic physics: lasers, cold atoms, solid-state spectroscopy, and astrophysics. With worked examples, end of chapter problems, and numerous diagrams, students can test their knowledge and gain a deeper understanding of the subject. This pedagogical text is ideal for undergraduate students seeking a succinct primer on atomic physics.
