About this book

Thanks to the favourable reception of this book by students and teachers, a new edition has become necessary in a relatively short time. We have taken advantage of this to in­ clude some important new developments in the book, for example the recent detection of antihydrogen and the production of very highly ionised atoms. It is remarkable how high-energy physics has repeatedly succeeded in providing new impulses for atomic physics. Once again, colleagues, coworkers, and students have helped us to eliminate minor errors, in particular typographical errors. We thank them and also the personnel of Springer-Verlag, especially Dr. H. J. Kolsch and C.-D. Bachem, for their as always ex­ cellent cooperation in preparing this edition. Stuttgart, May 1996 H. Haken H. C. Wolf Preface to the Fourth Edition This fourth edition contains a few additional figures. Otherwise only typographical er­ rors have been removed. The final chapter on Fundamentals of the Quantum Theory of Chemical Bonding is continued in an extended way in the textbook Molecular Physics and Elements of Quantum Chemistry by the same authors. This book contains, in particular, a profound presentation of group theory as applied to atoms and molecules. Furthermore, the in­ teraction between atoms and molecules and light is treated in detail. We thank again Springer-Verlag, in particular Dr. H. J. Kolsch and Mr. C.-D. Bachem for their excellent cooperation as always, and Prof. W. D. Brewer for his con­ tinuous support in translating our German text.
