Introduction to the Theory of X-Ray and Electronic Spectra of Free Atoms (Softcover Reprint of the Original 1st 1996)Paperback - Softcover Reprint of the Original 1st 1996, 7 June 2013

Covering both theory and applications, this important work provides a comprehensive introduction to the modern theory of X-ray and electronic spectra of free atoms. Romas Karazija discusses methods of angular momenta, irreducible tensorial operators, and coefficients of fractional parentage and their use in determining cross sections and probabilities of elementary processes. In addition, Karazija addresses the structure of electronic shells with inner vacancies and many-body effects.
