Produktbeschreibung

Quantum physics may appear complicated, especially if one forgets the 'big picture' and gets lost in the details. However, it can become clearer and less tangled if one applies a few fundamental concepts so that simplified approaches may emerge and estimated orders of magnitude become clear. Povh's "Scattering and Structures" presents the properties of quantum systems (elementary particles, nucleons, atoms, molecules, quantum gases, quantum liquids, and stars) with the help of elementary concepts and analogies between these seemingly different systems. The German version of this book was written for the students' preparation for the final oral examination in physics. By and by the scope of the book has been essentially enlarged and thus may be of interest for physicists in general
