With revised and extended content, this book is the first volume in a series of three aiming to present a broad coverage of atomic, molecular, solid-state and statistical physics. Divided into three parts, the first provides a historical perspective leading to the contemporary view of atomic and molecular physics, outlining the principles of non-relativistic quantum mechanics. The second covers the physical description of atoms and their interaction with radiation, whilst the third deals with molecular physics. The book's pedagogical features include conceptual layout sections that define the goals of each chapter, a simplified but rigorous mathematical apparatus, and a thorough discussion of approximations used to develop the adopted physical models.  aStudents enrolled in bachelor-level curricula in science and engineering. University libraries.  aAlso available in print.  aMode of access: World Wide Web.  aSystem requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.  aLuciano Colombo received his doctoral degree in physics from the University of Pavia (I) in 1989. In 1999, he was appointed associated professor at the University of Cagliari (I) where, in 2002, he became full professor of theoretical condensed matter physics. He has been a Fellow of the 'Istituto Lombardo - Accademia di Scienze e Lettere' (Milano, I) since 2015. He has been the principal investigator of several research projects addressing solid-state and materials physics topics, and is the author or co-author of more than 280 scientific articles and nine books.0 aTitle from PDF title page (viewed on November 1, 2023). 0aNuclear physics. 0aMolecular theory.992979 7aAtomic & molecular physics.2bicssc996375 7aSCIENCE / Physics / Atomic & Molecular.2bisacsh2 aInstitute of Physics (Great Britain),epublisher.91770208iPrint version:z9780750357326z9780750357357 0aIOP (Series).pRelease 23. 0aIOP ebooks.p2023 collection.40uhttps://iopscience.iop.org/book/mono/978-0-7503-5734-0  cE-Books  c68433d68433
