Download This PDF Book: Atomic Structure Theory: Lectures on Atomic Physics 2007 th Edition by Walter R. Johnson
This book provides a hands-on experience with atomic structure calculations. Material covered includes angular momentum methods, the central field Schrödinger and Dirac equations, Hartree-Fock and Dirac-Hartree-Fock equations, multiplet structure, hyperfine structure, the isotope shift, dipole and multipole transitions, basic many-body perturbation theory, configuration interaction, and correlation corrections to matrix elements.
The book also contains numerical methods for solving the Schrödinger and Dirac eigenvalue problems and the (Dirac)-Hartree-Fock equations.
This is a set of lecture notes prepared for Physics 607, a course on Atomic Physics for second-year graduate students, given at Notre Dame during the spring semester of 1994. My aim in this course was to provide opportunities for “hands-on” practice in the calculation of atomic wave functions and energies.
The lectures started with a review of angular momentum theory including the formal rules for manipulating angular momentum operators, a discussion of orbital and spin angular momentum, Clebsch-Gordan coefficients and three-j symbols.
This material should have been familiar to the students from first-year Quantum Mechanics. More advanced material on angular momentum needed in atomic structure calculations followed, including an introduction to graphical methods, irreducible tensor operators, spherical spinors and vector spherical harmonics.
From the Back Cover
Atomic Structure Theory is a textbook for students with a background in quantum mechanics. The text is designed to give hands-on experience with atomic structure calculations.
Material covered includes angular momentum methods, the central field Schrödinger and Dirac equations, Hartree-Fock and Dirac-Hartree-Fock equations, multiplet structure, hyperfine structure, the isotope shift, dipole and multipole transitions, basic many-body perturbation theory, configuration interaction, and correlation corrections to matrix elements.
Numerical methods for solving the Schrödinger and Dirac eigenvalue problems and the (Dirac)-Hartree-Fock equations are given as well. B-spline basis sets are used to carry out sums arising in higher-order many-body calculations.
Illustrative problems are provided, together with solutions. FORTRAN programs implementing the numerical methods in the text are included.
