Download or read book Correlations, Polarization, and Ionization in Atomic Systems written by Don H. Madison and published by American Institute of Physics. This book was released on 2002-01-14 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers a broad range of currently hot topics in atomic physics. Rapid progress both in experimental and theoretical techniques lead to continuously growing insight into topics like many-body and electron-electron correlation effects in excitation and charge transfer processes. Furthermore, established techniques originally developed to study atomic collisions have been refined to a point where they are now being applied to chemical, solid state and even biological systems, thus providing links to other scientific areas.
