WKB Approximation in Atomic Physics By: Boris Mikhailovich Karnakov; Vladimir Pavlovich Krainov Publisher: Springer Print ISBN: 9783642315572, 3642315577 eText ISBN: 9783642315589, 3642315585 Copyright year: 2013 Format: PDF Available from $ 74.99 USD SKU: 9783642315589 This book has evolved from lectures devoted to applications of the Wentzel - Kramers – Brillouin- (WKB or quasi-classical) approximation and of the method of 1/N −expansion for solving various problems in atomic and nuclear physics. The intent of this book is to help students and investigators in this field to extend their knowledge of these important calculation methods in quantum mechanics. Much material is contained herein that is not to be found elsewhere. WKB approximation, while constituting a fundamental area in atomic physics, has not been the focus of many books. A novel method has been adopted for the presentation of the subject matter, the material is presented as a succession of problems, followed by a detailed way of solving them. The methods introduced are then used to calculate Rydberg states in atomic systems and to evaluate potential barriers and quasistationary states. Finally, adiabatic transition and ionization of quantum systems are covered. SKU: 9783642315572 Ebooks here: https://ebookscoffee.sellpass.io/products/WKB-Approximation-in-Atomic-Physics
