	The Mossbauer Effect Richard A. Dunlap The effect which now bears his name, was discovered in 1958 by Rudolf Mossbauer at the Technical University of Munich. At first, this appeared to be a phenomenon related to nuclear energy levels that provided some information about excited state life… Publication Date: April, 2019 Read More
	The Electrostatic Accelerator Ragnar Hellborg, Harry J. Whitlow Electrostatic Accelerators have been at the forefront of modern technology since the development by Sir John Cockroft and Ernest Walton in 1932 of the first accelerator, which was the first to achieve nuclear transmutation and earned them the Nobel P… Publication Date: March, 2019 Read More
	Atomic Physics Paul Ewart Atomic Physics provides a concise treatment of atomic physics and a basis to prepare for work in other disciplines that are underpinned by atomic physics such as chemistry, biology and several aspects of engineering science. The focus is mainly on at… Publication Date: February, 2019 Read More
	Electrostatics at the Molecular Level Ulrich Zurcher Electrostatic forces are essential for the hierarchical structure of matter: electrons are bound to the atomic nucleus by electrostatic forces; atoms carry (partial) charges and ions with opposite charges attract and form (chemical) bonds. Small resi… Publication Date: October, 2018 Read More
	Atomic Structure Colm T. Whelan A knowledge of atomic theory should be an essential part of every physicist’s and chemist’s toolkit. This book provides an introduction to the basic ideas that govern our understanding of microscopic matter, and the essential features of atomic struc… Publication Date: May, 2018 Read More
	Relativity, Symmetry, and the Structure of Quantum Theory: Volume 2 William Klink, Wolfgang Schweiger The first version of quantum theory, developed in the mid 1920’s, is what is called nonrelativistic quantum theory; it is based on a form of relativity which, in a previous volume, was called Newton relativity. But quickly after this first developmen… Publication Date: March, 2018 Read More
