The Physics of Atoms and Quanta Introduction to Experiments and Theory

The Physics of Atoms and Quanta Introduction to Experiments and Theory / by Hermann Haken, Hans Christoph Wolf.

The Physics of Atoms and Quanta is a thorough introduction to experiments and theory in this field. Every classical and modern aspect is covered and discussed in detail. As this text ends with the fundamentals of classical bonding, it leads into the second and more advanced book by the same authors...
