Formulas and Derivations

An excellent source of theoretical background (e.g quasi-equilibirum theory and energy considerations) as well as relatively simple mathematical treatment of the important analyzers. References are given to original sources. Also, there are revealing problems and solution accessible in a special website. The text is at graduate level, requites some background in physics and mathematics.

We can also express the same energy transfer mechanisms in terms of spherical harmonics and the oscillator strengths. The actual formulas and derivation have been given at the end of Section 5.6. Using spherical harmonics, we obtain quantities like those of 5.7.12. and 5.7.13. ...
