Theory of Atomic Structure and Spectra

Both the interpretation of atomic spectra and the application of atomic spectroscopy to current problems in astrophysics, laser physics, and thermonuclear plasmas require a thorough knowledge of the Slater-Condon theory of atomic structure and spectra. This book gathers together aspects of the theory that are widely scattered in the literature and augments them to produce a coherent set of closed-form equations suitable both for computer calculations on cases of arbitrary complexity and for hand calculations for very simple cases.Cowan, Robert D. is the author of 'Theory of Atomic Structure and Spectra', published 1981 under ISBN 9780520038219 and ISBN 0520038215.
