Relativistic Quantum Mechanics. Wave Equations

Relativistic Quantum Mechanics. Wave Equations by Walter Greiner.

Relativistic Quantum Mechanics - Wave Equations concentrates mainly on the wave equations for spin-0 and spin-1/2 particles. The first chapter deals with the Klein-Gordon equation and its properties and applications. The chapters that follow introduce the Dirac equation, investigate its covariance p...
