A key concept is the central-field approximation and, beyond the standard LS-coupling and jj-coupling schemes, intermediate cases are also treated. After that, the book covers hyperfine structure and other nuclear effects, as well as interactions with static external fields. Throughout the book, an analytical approach is adopted. Working knowledge of basic quantum mechanics (including the non-relativistic hydrogen atom, basic angular momentum and perturbation theory) is assumed, and it begins with a brief recap of the hydrogen orbitals, before turning towards the symmetry aspects of multi-electron atoms, spin-orbit interaction and couplings of angular momenta.Springer Series on Atomic, Optical, and Plasma Physics,1615-5653 ;112Atomic structure  Molecular structure Quantum physicsAtomic/Molecular Structure and Spectrahttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P24017Quantum Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080Atomic structure  .Molecular structure .Quantum physics.Atomic/Molecular Structure and Spectra.Quantum Physics.539.7Kastberg Andersauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut845142MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910410004503321Structure of Multielectron Atoms1885366UNINA
