Physicists distinguish between atomic physics—which deals with the atom as a system consisting of a nucleus and electrons—and nuclear physics, which studies nuclear reactions and special properties …

Atomic physics, the scientific study of the structure of the atom, its energy states, and its interactions with other particles and with electric and magnetic fields.

Introduction to Atomic Physics. Atomic energy is the source of power for both nuclear reactors and nuclear weapons. This energy comes from the splitting (fission) or joining (fusion) of atoms. To …

Chapter 1 Introductory Atomic Physics I.1.1 Introduction An understanding of modern solid state theory is possible only after the fundamentals of quantum mechanical principles and the application of t. ese …

Atomic physics seeks to understand and control the quantum behavior of matter at the smallest scale.

This open access textbook introduces beginning undergraduate students and high school students to the world of quantum mechanics and atomic spectroscopy.

This open access textbook introduces beginning undergraduate students and high school students to atomic physics with no advanced math required.

Atomic physics studies atoms as an isolated system of electrons and an atomic nucleus and is primarily concerned with the arrangement of electrons around the nucleus and the processes by which these …

In this chapter, we discuss the discovery of atoms and their own substructures; we then apply quantum mechanics to the description of atoms, and their properties and interactions.

Atomic physics (or atom physics) is a field of physics that involves investigation of the structures of atoms, their energy states, and their interactions with other particles and electromagnetic radiation.
