Electron Correlation Dynamics in Atomic Collisions
Electron Correlation Dynamics in Atomic Collisions by J. H. McGuire is a graduate and research-level text published by Cambridge University Press on December 15, 2005. This 304-page book presents a thorough introduction to the theory of multi-electron transitions within the fields of atomic, molecular, and optical physics, with a particular focus on the dynamic electron correlation that is increasingly relevant in contemporary research.
Readers will find a detailed exploration of various topics, including simple binomial probabilities, classical scattering theory, and quantum scattering and correlation. The book delves into single and multiple electron transition probabilities, discussing approaches such as the independent electron approximation and statistical methods. It also emphasizes the dynamics of electron correlation, providing a comprehensive summary of data related to few and many-electron transitions in atoms and molecules, as well as interactions involving fast ions and electrons. The text is designed to be accessible to nonspecialists, making it a valuable resource for those interested in the intricacies of atomic collisions and electron dynamics.
Official synopsis Publisher
This graduate/research level text introduces the theory of multi-electron transitions in atomic, molecular and optical physics, emphasizing the emerging topic of dynamic electron correlation. The book begins with an overview of simple binomial probabilities, classical scattering theory, quantum scattering and correlation, followed by the theory of single electron transition probabilities. Multiple electron transition probabilities are then treated in detail. Various approaches to multiple electron transitions are covered including the independent electron approximation, useful statistical methods and perturbation expansions treating correlation in both weak and strong limits. The dynamics of electron correlation are strongly emphasized. The text contains a comprehensive summary of data for few and many-electron transitions in atoms and molecules, including transitions on different atomic centers, fast ion-atom and electron-atom interactions, and recent observations using synchrotron radiation. Emphasis is given to methods that may be used by nonspecialists.
