Quantum mechanics is widely recognized as the basic law which
governs all of nature, including all materials and devices. It has
always been essential to the understanding of material properties,
and as devices become smaller it is also essential for studying
their behavior. Nevertheless, only a small fraction of graduate
engineers and materials scientists take a course giving a
systematic presentation of the subject. The courses for physics
students tend to focus on the fundamentals and formal background,
rather than on application, and do not fill the need. This
invaluable text has been designed to fill the very apparent gap.The
book covers those parts of quantum theory which may be necessary
for a modern engineer. It focuses on the approximations and
concepts which allow estimates of the entire range of properties of
nuclei, atoms, molecules, and solids, as well as the behavior of
lasers and other quantum-optic devices. It may well prove useful
also to graduate students in physics, whose courses on quantum
theory tend not to include any of these applications. The material
has been the basis of a course taught to graduate engineering
students for the past four years at Stanford University.Topics
