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

The research of planetary or sunlight magnetic fields explains usual magnetism as a phenomenon of magnetohydrodynamics. The kinematic dynamo thought, in particular the short dynamo taken care of during this quantity, is a bit easier yet nonetheless it provides bold analytical difficulties concerning chaotic dynamics, for instance.

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

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

Theoretical Atomic Physics

This validated textual content includes a sophisticated presentation of quantum mechanics tailored to the necessities of contemporary atomic physics. The 3rd variation extends the profitable moment variation with a close therapy of the wave movement of atoms, and it additionally includes an advent to a couple points 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 features of the theories which were used to explain the nucleus. Now on hand in a more cost-effective softcover variation, the unique contents of "The Nuclear Many-Body challenge” offered here's meant for college students with uncomplicated wisdom of quantum mechanics and a few figuring out of nuclear phenomena.
