Svanberg S. Atomic and Molecular Spectroscopy: Basic Aspects and Practical Applications

4th edition, Springer-Verlag, Berlin, 2004, 588 pages, ISBN: 978-3-540-20382-7Atomic and molecular spectroscopy – both in its basic and in its applied aspects – is in a dynamic state of development. It continues to provide new fascinating possibilities for a deeper understanding of the fundamental properties of the building blocks of matter and their interaction with electromagnetic irradiation. It generates new possibilities for practical applications in industry, chemistry, astronomy, geosciences, biology, medicine and information technology.This textbook on Atomic and Molecular Spectroscopy has been prepared to provide an overview of modern spectroscopic methods. It is intended to serve as a text for a course on the subject for final-year undergraduate physics students or graduate students. It should also be useful for students of astrophysics and chemistry.Atomic Structure
