Advances in atomic and molecular physics
- eds.
Several articles by different authors on the advances in atomic and molecular theory make up this book. The subjects discussed are as follows: (1) the Atomic Hartree-Fock Theory. A number of simple variants of the HF theory of atoms are discussed. All utilize the frozen core description of (N-1) of the electrons, and lead to a linear radial equation for the single valence electron; (2) experiments and model calculations to determine interatomic potentials; (3) sources of polarized electrons. A review of the current state-of-the-art technology for producing beams of polarized electrons is given; (4) theory of atomic processes in strong resonant electromagnetic fields. A unified account is given, based on the master equation method with dressed-atom approach for multilevel systems, of the consequences of splitting of the energy levels of atoms in strong electromagnetic fields; (5) spectroscopy of laser-produced plasmas; (6) relativistic effects in atomic collisions theory; (7) parity nonconservation in atoms: status of theory and experiment.
