Springer Handbook of Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics

Beschreibung

This handbook comprises a comprehensive reference source that unifies the entire fields of atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics, assembling the principal ideas, techniques and results of the field from atomic spectroscopy to applications to comets and global changein comets. Its 91 chapters are written by over 100 authors, all leaders in their respective disciplines.

Carefully edited to ensure a uniform coverage and style and with extensive cross references, together with a guide to the primary research literature, it is both a source of information and an inspiration for graduate students and other researchers new to the field. All chapters offer diagrams of apparatus, graphs, and tables of data.

Twenty-five years on since the Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics Handbook was first published, and ten years since the publication of the revised Springer edition, the Springer AMO Physics Handbook has become a standard reference in the field, and a starting point for generations of graduate students. In recent years, there have been dramatic advances in many areas of AMO physics involving both fundamental changes and new applications in areas such as quantum information, ultracold atoms, and searches for dark matter. This new edition contains an expanded coverage of these rapidly emerging fields.

This indispensable resource offers unparalleled coverage in a single volume of the many interrelated disciplines of atomic, molecular, and optical (AMO) physics

Along with a summary of key ideas, techniques, and results, many chapters offer you diagrams of apparatus, graphs, and tables of data

From atomic spectroscopy to applications in comets, one finds contributions from over 100 leading authors, all carefully edited to ensure uniformity of coverage and style

Provides a unique starting point for graduate students who are beginning their research, with a comprehensive index for easy discovery of topics, whilst also acting as a guide to the literature for further reading
