PHYS 228: ATOMIC & MOLEC PHYS
University of California, Santa Barbara
A survey of major topics in modern atomic physics. Topics in atomic structu re include general features of atomic spectra, fine structure, hyperfine st ructure, the Lamb shift, hydrogen, helium, alkali atoms, complex atoms, exc ited states, and synthetic atoms. Topics in atom-field interactions and ato m atom interactions include the DC Stark effect, the Zeeman effect, transit ions, two-level systems, stimulated and spontaneous emission, selection rul es, lifetimes, line shapes, broadening mechanisms, the AC Stark effect, mul tiphoton processes, scattering channels, and Feshbach resonances. Also cove rs modern techniques including spectroscopy, laser cooling, atom traps, qu antum gases, cold molecules, trapped ions, and atomic clocks.
