Chapter 1. The Wave-Particle Duality -- Chapter 2. The Schr�dinger Wave Equation -- Chapter 3. Operators and Waves -- Chapter 4. The Hydrogen Atom -- Chapter 5. Many-Electron Atoms -- Chapter 6. The Emergence of Masers and Lasers -- Chapter 7. Statistical Physics -- Chapter 8. Electronic Structure of Solids -- Chapter 9. Charge Carriers in Semiconductors -- Chapter 10. Semiconductor Lasers -- Chapter 11. Relativity I -- Chapter 12. Relativity II -- Chapter 13. Particle Physics -- Chapter 14. Nuclear Physics -- Appendix A. Constants and Conversion Factors -- Appendix B. Atomic Masses -- Appendix C. Introduction to MATLAB -- Appendix D. Solution of the Oscillator Equation -- Appendix E. The Average Value of the Momentum -- Appendix F. The Hartree-Fock Applet -- Appendix G. Integrals that Arise in Statistical Physics -- Appendix AA. The Gradient and Laplacian Operators -- Appendix BB. Solution of the Schr�dinger Equation in Spherical Coordinates -- Appendix CC. More Accurate Solutions of the Eigenvalue Problem -- Appendix DD. The Angular Momentum Operators -- Appendix EE. The Radial Equation for Hydrogen -- Appendix FF. Transition Probabilities for z-Polarized Light -- Appendix GG. Transitions with x- and y-Polarized Light -- Appendix HH. Derivation of the Distribution Laws -- Appendix II. Derivation of Blochs Theorem -- Appendix JJ. The Band Gap -- Appendix KK. Vector Spaces and Matrices -- Appendix LL. Algebraic Solution of the Oscillator
Summary: The second edition of Modern Physics for Scientists and Engineers is intended for a first course in modern physics. Beginning with a brief and focused account of the historical events leading to the formulation of modern quantum theory, later chapters delve into the underlying physics. Streamlined content, chapters on semiconductors, Dirac equation and quantum field theory, as well as a robust pedagogy and ancillary package, including an accompanying website with computer applets, assist students in learning the essential material. The applets provide a realistic description of the energy levels and wave functions of electrons in atoms and crystals. The Hartree-Fock and ABINIT applets are valuable tools for studying the properties of atoms and semiconductors.
