Recent years have seen a growing interest in the effects of relativity in atoms, molecules and solids. On the one hand, this can be seen as result of the growing awareness of the importance of relativity in describing the properties of heavy atoms and systems containing them. This has been fueled by the inadequacy of physical models which either neglect relativity or which treat it as a small perturbation. On the other hand, it is dependent upon the technological developments which have resulted in computers powerful enough to make calculations on heavy atoms and on systems containing heavy atoms meaningful. Vector processing and, more recently, parallel processing techniques are playing an ...
The International Conference on the Physics of Electronic and Atomic Collisions (ICPEAC) is the largest of the international conferences dealing with two-body dynamic interactions between photons, electrons, positrons, atoms, molecules, ions and clusters. These subjects are of fundamental importance in quantum physics and chemistry. They are also basic elementary processes in the fields of astrophysics, atmospheric science, gaseous electronics, plasma processing, nuclear fusion science and radiation physics and chemistry. This book includes all invited talks which cover fundamental physics (the nano-kelvin physics of Bose-Einstein condensation in atomic gases) to practical applications (ion beam treatment of cancer).
This well-illustrated resource provides vital cross-section information for the atomic and molecular collision processes taking place in the boundary region of magnetically confined fusion plasmas and in other laboratory and astrophysical low-temperature plasmas. The expertly assessed information in this noteworthy volume includes the most recent experimental and theoretical results presented in a convenient format. Coverage includes the processes of electron-impact excitation and ionization of plasma edge atoms, electron-ion recombination, dissociative collision processes involving electrons and much more.
THE NEW ZEALAND PREGNANCY BOOK has been used by many thousands of parents since the first edition was published in 1991. The third edition has been comprehensively rewritten by GP author Sue Pullon, along with midwife Cheryl Benn. A richly informative text, accompanied by vivid life stories, is illuminated throughout by full colour photography (along with illustrations and diagrams). This is a superb New Zealand reference work, produced by an expert team: GP, midwife, writer, photographer, physiotherapist, and designers working in close collaboration with the publishers. This is a must have for New Zealand families in the significant phases of pregnancy, birth and early childhood.
Opacity is a quantity that determines the transport of radiation through matter and is important in many problems in physics and astrophysics. To calculate opacities, one requires atomic data for a large number of processes involving the absorption and scattering of radiation. Stellar opacities are of particular interest in astrophysics because of their importance for theories of stellar structure and stellar pulsations. Taking advantage of advances in computational atomic and plasma physics and of the availability of powerful supercomputers, The Opacity Project, Volume 2: Selected Research Papers-Atomic Data Tables for S to Fe presents accurate atomic data required for opacity calculations....
Commencing with a self-contained overview of atomic collision theory, this monograph presents recent developments of R-matrix theory and its applications to a wide-range of atomic molecular and optical processes. These developments include the electron and photon collisions with atoms, ions and molecules which are required in the analysis of laboratory and astrophysical plasmas, multiphoton processes required in the analysis of superintense laser interactions with atoms and molecules and positron collisions with atoms and molecules required in antimatter studies of scientific and technologial importance. Basic mathematical results and general and widely used R-matrix computer programs are summarized in the appendices.
