Benjamin Bederson contributed to the world of physics in many
areas: in atomic physics, where he achieved renown by his
scattering and polarizability experiments, as the Editor-in-Chief
for the American Physical Society, where he saw the introduction of
electronic publishing and a remarkable growth of the APS journals,
with ever increasing world-wide contributions to these highly
esteemed journals, and as the originator of a number of
international physics conferences in the fields of atomic and
collision physics, which are continuing to this day. Bederson was
also a great teacher and university administrator.
The first part of this volume of Advances in Atomic, Molecular and
Optical Physics (AAMOP), entitled Benjamin Bederson: Works,
Comments and Legacies, contains articles written from a personal
perspective. His days at Los Alamos during World War II, working on
the A bomb, are recounted by V. Fitch. H. Walther writes on the
time when both were editors of AAMOP. H. Lustig, E. Merzbacher and
B. Crasemann, with whom Bederson had a long-term association at the
American Physical Society, contribute their experiences, one of
them in the style of a poem. C.D. Rice recalls his days when he was
Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Science at NYU, and the education
in physics that he received from Bederson, then Dean of the
Graduate School. The contribution by R. Stuewer is on Bederson as
physicist historian (his latest interest). N. Lane draws some
parallels between "two civic scientists, Benjamin Bederson and the
other Benjamin." The papers are introduced by H.H. Stroke, in an
overview of Bederson's career. A biography and bibliography are
included.
The second part of the volume contains scientific articles on the
Casimir effects (L. Spruch), dipole polarizabilities (X. Chu, A.
Dalgarno), two-electron molecular bonds revisited (G. Chen, S.A.
Chin, Y. Dou, K.T. Kapale, M. Kim, A.A. Svidzinsky, K. Uretkin, H.
Xiong, M.O. Scully, and resonance fluorescence of two-level atoms
(H. Walther). J. Pinard and H.H. Stroke review spectroscopy with
radioactive atoms. T. Miller writes on electron attachment and
detachment in gases, and, with H. Gould, on recent developments in
the measurement of static electric dipole polarizabilities. R.
Celotta and J.A. Stroscio's most recent work on trapping and moving
atoms on surfaces is contributed here. C.C. Lin and J.B. Borrard's
article is on electron-impact excitation cross sections. The late
Edward Pollack wrote his last paper for this volume, Atomic and
Ionic Collisions. L. Vuskovic and S. Popovic write on atomic
interactions in a weakly ionized gas and ionizing shock waves. The
last scientific article is by H. Kleinpoppen, B. Lohmann, A.
Grum-Grzhimailo and U. Becker on approaches to perfect/complete
scattering in atomic and molecular physics. The book ends with an
essay on teaching by R.E. Collins.
