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

The learn of planetary or sunlight magnetic fields explains usual magnetism as a phenomenon of magnetohydrodynamics. The kinematic dynamo idea, specially the short dynamo handled during this quantity, is a bit less complicated yet nonetheless it offers bold analytical difficulties with regards to chaotic dynamics, for instance.

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

An figuring out 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 e-book, a idea for electron-atom and molecule collisions is constructed utilizing non-relativistic quantum mechanics in a scientific and lucid demeanour.

Theoretical Atomic Physics

This tested textual content includes a sophisticated presentation of quantum mechanics tailored to the necessities of recent atomic physics. The 3rd version extends the winning moment variation with a close therapy of the wave movement of atoms, and it additionally includes an advent to a few 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 concept, with an emphasis on method and the technical elements of the theories which have been used to explain the nucleus. Now to be had in a cheaper softcover variation, the unique contents of "The Nuclear Many-Body challenge” provided here's meant for college students with easy wisdom of quantum mechanics and a few realizing of nuclear phenomena.

The bound states in a Coulomb potential do not form a complete set. 24). 2). The eigenfunctions in a Coulomb potential only become a complete set if we include the unbound states of the continuum E > O. The unbound eigenfunctions are just the regular Coulomb functions F/(T/, kr) introduced in Sect. 2. From 1. 4 we obtain the following fonnula for the behaviour of the regular Coulomb functions in an attractive Coulomb potential (TJ < 0) at small separations (r ~ 0) close to the continuum threshold (k ~ 0): ~ F/(TJ, kr) :::: (21!

The same as Fig. 0. 5 to neighbouring resonances), then the jump of the phase shift is well described by the arctan form of the Breit-Wigner resonance. For potential resonances such as those shown in Figs. 10 it is not so straightforward to decompose the total phase shift into a weakly energy-dependent background phase shift and a resonant part. As Fig. 183) would lead to expect. At energies above the resonances in Figs.
