Abstract
This is an advanced quantum mechanics textbook for physicists
covering the general areas of atomic structure, semi-classical
radiation theory, atomic collisions and relativistic quantum
theory. The problems are very challenging. Topics include:
miscellaneous results from elementary quantum mechanics;
identical particles and symmetry; two-electron atoms; the
self-consistent field; statistical models; addition of angular
momenta; theory of multiplets; electrostatic interaction;
spin-orbit interaction and interactions with external fields;
molecules; semi-classical theory of radiation; intensity of
radiation; selection rules; photo-electric effect; elastic
scattering at high energies; elastic scattering at low
energies; further corrections to elastic scattering formulae;
elastic scattering of spin 1/2 particles; inelastic scattering
at high energies; inelastic scattering at low energies;
semi-classical treatment of inelastic scattering; classical
limit of quantum mechanical scattering --- summary;
Klein-Gordon equation; Dirac equation; formal theory;
solutions of the Dirac equation.
