Book Overview
Atomic physics is a sub-branch of physics which deals with the study of atoms, their nucleus and the electrons surrounding it. It is used to expand fields like nuclear weapons and nuclear power. Similarly, molecular physics refers to the study of molecular dynamics, the characteristics of molecules and also the chemical bonds between atoms. The other fields which use the elements of atomic and molecular physics are chemical physics, theoretical chemistry, physical chemistry, etc. This book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of the physics of atoms and molecules. Some of the diverse topics covered in it address the varied branches that fall under this category. This book is appropriate for those seeking detailed information in this area.

Excellent textbook for a course on atomic physics
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book is comprehensive, updated, and enjoys the ineffable insight and clarity of a real institution in the field: prof. C. J. Joachain. A definite plus is that the discussions are disseminated with a lot of references to the literature, so it can work as a good introduction to any of the manifold fields treated. It is true, though, that it is not extremely advanced, nor very general in its derivations, therefore if you are looking for THE "summa theologica", perhaps this is not what you are looking for.
Great book

This is a very good book in AMO. Very intelligible, nice flow, stuff comes naturally.. It's a classical text, but very well done. (I recommend Liboff for QM and introduction to AMO, and Bransden for good AMO).
Excellent Atomic and Molecular physics book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book is excellent for a 1st year graduate course on Atomic and Molecular physics. The initial sections cover QM in as good and concise a manner as I've ever seen. The coverage of perturbation theory is also very clear. After that the book concentrates on Atomic and Molecular topics like fine structure, Hyperfine strucutre, Hartree-Fock, and a very nice section on Atomic collision physics. It's truly regrettable that this book is out of print.
a good book
