Springer Handbook of Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-030-73892-1 (ISBN)
92 chapters written by about 120 authors present the principal ideas, techniques and results of the field, together with a guide to the primary research literature (carefully edited to ensure a uniform coverage and style, with extensive cross-references).
Along with a summary of key ideas, techniques, and results, many chapters offer diagrams of apparatus, graphs, and tables of data. From atomic spectroscopy to applications in comets, one finds contributions from over 100 authors, all leaders in their respective disciplines.
Substantially updated and expanded since the original 1996 edition, it now contains several entirely new chapters covering current areas of great research interest that barely existed in 1996, such as Bose-Einstein condensation, quantum information, and cosmological variations of the fundamental constants.
A fully-searchable CD- ROM version of the contents accompanies the handbook.
Gordon W.F. Drake, FRSC, is a University Professor of Physics at the University of Windsor, Canada, and Principal of Canterbury College affiliated with the University of Windsor. He is a past Chair of the APS Division of Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics (DAMOP), the IUPAP Commission C15, and is a past President of the Canadian Association of Physicists (CAP). He continued to serve on the Executive of the CAP as Director, International Affairs, and Chair of the Canadian National IUPAP Liaison Committee until 2014. He received his B.Sc. degree from McGill University, 1964, M.Sc. from the University of Western Ontario, 1965, and Ph.D. from York University, 1967, followed by a postdoctoral position at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (1967-69). He has published 230 refereed research papers, and is widely cited for his high precision calculations for two and three-electron atoms, including relativistic and quantum electrodynamic effects. He has received numerous prizes and awards for his work, including a Killam Fellowship (1990-92), the Canadian Association of Physicists Medal for Achievement in Physics (1994), the Windsor Alumnni Teaching Award (2003), and the Peter Kirkby Memorial Medal for Outstanding Service to Canadian Physics (2015).
