The First e-book on Ultracold Molecules

Cold molecules provide interesting houses on which new operational rules will be established (e.g., quantum computing) or which may let researchers to review a qualitatively new habit of subject (e.g., Bose-Einstein condensates dependent by way of the electrical dipole interaction). This interdisciplinary booklet discusses novel easy methods to create and confine molecules at temperatures close to absolute 0 (1 microKelvin to one Kelvin) and surveys the study performed with and on chilly molecules to this point. it's glaring that this examine has irreversibly replaced atomic, molecular, and optical physics and quantum details technology. Its influence on condensed-matter physics, astrophysics, and actual chemistry is changing into obvious in addition. This monograph offers professional researchers in addition to scholars getting into the sector with a worthy significant other, one that, moreover, may help to foster their identification inside of their associations and the physics and chemistry groups at large.

Stretch, Twist, Fold: The Fast Dynamo (Lecture Notes in Physics Monographs)

The research of planetary or sunlight magnetic fields explains common magnetism as a phenomenon of magnetohydrodynamics. The kinematic dynamo conception, specifically the short dynamo handled during this quantity, is a bit of easier yet nonetheless it provides ambitious analytical difficulties with regards to chaotic dynamics, for instance.

Introduction to the Theory of Collisions of Electrons with Atoms and Molecules

An realizing of the collisions among micro debris is of serious significance for the variety of fields belonging to physics, chemistry, astrophysics, biophysics and so on. the current publication, a conception for electron-atom and molecule collisions is built utilizing non-relativistic quantum mechanics in a scientific and lucid demeanour.

Theoretical Atomic Physics

This demonstrated textual content comprises a complicated presentation of quantum mechanics tailored to the necessities of contemporary atomic physics. The 3rd version extends the winning moment version with an in depth therapy of the wave movement of atoms, and it additionally includes an advent to a couple features of atom optics that are appropriate for present and destiny experiments concerning ultra-cold atoms.

The Nuclear Many-Body Problem

This long-standing introductory textual content completely describes nuclear many-body thought, with an emphasis on method and the technical points of the theories which have been used to explain the nucleus. Now on hand in a more cost-effective softcover version, the unique contents of "The Nuclear Many-Body challenge” awarded here's meant for college kids with uncomplicated wisdom of quantum mechanics and a few realizing of nuclear phenomena.

Example text

24 suggests that for L = 0 there will be a zero-energy vibrational level and thus an infinite scattering length when Φ0 (0) = (v + 21 )π. 29) where Φ0 (0) is evaluated at E = 0. 30) and is a function only of n, Cn , and the reduced mass μ. 31) instead of simply v + 21 . 29. The zero-energy scattering length is very sensitive to the details of the interaction potential. 2. As the potential depth is reduced it supports fewer and fewer bound states, and every time there is a bound state at exactly zero energy there is a√pole in the scattering length.
