Synopsis

Intended for advanced students of physics, chemistry, and related disciplines, this text treats the quantum theory of atoms and ions within the framework of self-consistent fields. It treats the structure and spectra of atoms and ions, their behavior in external fields, and their interactions, including collisions; data needed for the analysis of collisions and other atomic processes are also included, making the book useful as a reference for researchers as well as students.

Review

From the reviews:

"As a reference book on atomic physics, it is probably quite comprehensive. ... A really good idea of the author has been to cover the basic principles in the main text of each chapter and reserve the last third of each chapter for ... questions with detailed answers involving a large amount of mathematics. ... it may be very useful for those who already have a profound understanding of atomic physics but want to refresh their knowledge ... ." (Jan Posthumus, Physicalia, Vol. 26 (1), 2004)
