Book Description
First published in 1956, this classic work by N.F. Ramsey, 1989 Nobel Laureate in Physics, provides an account of atomic and molecular structure. After an introductory section reviewing experimental apparatus and the kinds of quantities that can be measured, Ramsey provides comprehensive
accounts of gas kinetics, chemical equilibria, and atomic and nuclear magnetic moments by nonresonance methods.He also provides tables of nuclear moments, as well as detailed accounts of nuclear and molecular interactions.Finally there are sections on atomic fine and hyperfine structure, and the
design of experimental apparatus.The focus throughout is on the physics of beams composed of electrically neutral particles.As a seminal work by one of the world's leading scientists, this volume will interest students and researchers in a range of fields, including atomic physics, physical
chemistry, spectroscopy, and biological chemistry. ... Read more

Book Description
This book contains contributions written by the world-leading scientists in high-resolution laser spectroscopy, quantum optics and laser physics. Emphasis is placed on precision related to results in a variety of fields, such as atomic clocks, frequency standards, and the measurement of physical constants in atomic physics. Furthermore, illustrations and engineering applications of the fundamentals of quantum mechanics are widely covered. It has contributions by Nobel prize winners Norman F. Ramsey and Steven Chu, and is dedicated to Theodor W. Hänsch on the occasion of his 60th birthday. ... Read more
