World Scientific Lecture Notes in Physics - Vol. 13

APPLIED QUANTUM MECHANICS

by R Osborn

The material collected in this book originated from the author's twenty-five years of teaching for a two-semester, first year graduate course in the University of Michigan. It discusses the physics and analysis of nuclear and electromagnetic interactions. It also introduces the concepts of Quantum Mechanics from the Liouville, rather than the Schroedinger, point of view. This viewpoint is unique, less abstract and lends itself nicely to physical applications. It is highly recommended as a text for graduate courses in Physics, Chemistry and Engineering.


Contents:

  • Introduction
  • The Simple Shell Model, Introduction to Reaction Rates
  • Neutron-Nuclear Cross-Sections
  • Some Applications
  • A Hamiltonian for Non-Relativistic, Spinless, Charged Particles in the Presence of Electromagnetic Fields
  • A Relativistic Hamiltonian for the Description of the Interaction of Charged Particles with Electromagnetic Fields
  • Some Interactions Experienced by Low Energy Photons
  • Light Scattering

  • Miscellaneous Nonlinear Phenomena


Readership: Applied physicists and chemists, nuclear, electrical and chemical engineers.


"The style of the book is definitely unique and there is clear emphasis on mathematical rigour."
