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.
* Develops modern quantum mechanical ideas systematically and uses
these ideas consistently throughout the book
* Carefully considers fundamental subjects such as transition
probabilities, crystal structure, reciprocal lattices, and Bloch
theorem which are fundamental to any treatment of lasers and
semiconductor devices
* Clarifies each important concept through the use of a simple
example and often an illustration
* Features expanded exercises and problems at the end of each chapter
* Offers multiple appendices to provide quick-reference for students
