Product Description: The book presents an advanced tool for experimentalists using spectral lineshapes for diagnostics of laboratory or astrophysical plasmas, and for theorists helping the experimentalists in interpreting the experimental line profiles...read more

Product Description: The book presents counterintuitive theoretical results, which were published in reputable refereed journals by the book's author and by others. These fundamental results break several paradigms of quantum mechanics and provide alternative interpretations of some important phenomena in atomic and molecular physics...read more

Product Description: A systematic development of the foundations of spectroscopy for plasmas subjected to quasi-monochromatic electric fields in the microwave or visible range. Of importance are the transverse fields present in the plasmas of tokamaks, laser fusion, and technological microwave discharges...read more

Product Description: Studies of spectral line shapes, on the fundamental side, reveal the underlying atomic and molecular interactions. On the practical side, they are employed as powerful diagnostic tools for energy pursuit via controlled fusion, for technological gas discharges, for the atmosphere of the Earth, the Sun, and other stars...read more

Product Description: The Stark broadening of spectral lines in plasmas belongs to the highest level of plasma spectroscopy and is consequently its most complicated subject. Therefore, physics of the Stark broadening can be best understood for spectral lines of one-electron systems: hydrogen atoms and hydrogen like ions...read more
