Titles in the Student s Guide series tackle important and challenging topics in
physics by adopting a plain language approach to explain fundamental ideas
in a clear and accessible way. Written and designed specifically for students,
numerous exercises and worked examples are presented throughout the text
to enhance the reader s understanding of the key concepts.
The books in this series cover a wide range of subjects within the university
physics curriculum. Many of the titles offer supplementary online resources
such as podcasts, worked solutions, and simulations.
This concise and accessible book provides a detailed introduction to the fundamental
principles of atomic physics at an undergraduate level. Concepts are explained in an
intuitive way, and the book assumes only a basic knowledge of quantum mechanics and
electromagnetism. With a compact format specifically designed for students, the first
part of the book covers the key principles of the subject, including quantum theory of the
hydrogen atom, radiative transitions, the shell model of multi-electron atoms, spin-orbit
coupling, and the effects of external fields. The second part provides an introduction to
four key applications of atomic physics: lasers, cold atoms, solid-state spectroscopy, and
astrophysics. This highly pedagogical text includes worked examples and end-of-chapter
problems to allow students to test their knowledge, as well as numerous diagrams of key
concepts, making it perfect for undergraduate students looking for a succinct primer on
the concepts and applications of atomic physics.
► Worked examples and solutions throughout allow practise in calculating experimentally
measurable quantities
► Physical intuition is highlighted which allows students to get a clear understanding of
the physical processes happening within atoms
► Written in clear, simple language this is an accessible and pedagogical resource
