By: Material type: TextTextPublication details: Mineola : Dover Publications, 2001.Edition: 2nd edDescription: xvi, 599 p. : illustrations ; 24 cmISBN:
  • 9780486414645
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 541.28 23 P637
Contents:
1. Origins of the quantum theory -- 2. The schrodinger wave equation -- 3. The quantum mechanics of some simple systems -- 4. Quantum theory of angular momentum : the rigid rotator -- 5. The hydrogen atom -- 6. Approximate solutions to the Schrodinger equation -- 7. Electron spin and many-electron systems -- 8. The quantum states of atoms -- 9. The algebra of many-electron calculations -- 10. The hartree-fock self-consistent field method -- 11. Introduction to molecular structure -- 12. The electronic structure of linear molecules -- 13. The electronic structure of nonlinear molecules -- 14. Semiempirical molecular orbital methods I: Pi electron systems -- 15. Semieempirical molecular orbital methods II: all valence3-electron systems -- Appendices -- Indexes.
Summary: This book will be most useful for advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate students who have had calculus and at least a year of undergraduate physics. A knowledge of differential equations, linear algebra, and atomic physics is helpful but not essential. Seven appendices give a concise exposition of mathematical and physical material that may not be part of the students' background.
