Title Semiclassical Dynamics and Relaxation Author(s) Crothers, D.S.F Publication New York, NY, Springer New York, 2008. Description XII, 344 p : online resource Abstract Note This text concerns ???semiclassical??? within various meanings. These include the familiar JWKB approximation and its phase-integral generalizations in Chapter 2 to two and four transition points with or without one or two poles: by corollary, crossing and non-crossing nonadiabatic collision theory. Above and below threshold Wannier ionization is covered in Chapter 3 where the large parameters are the inverses of the variation of the hyperspherical angles from their ridge values. The more familiar impact parameter treatment, in which the possibly relativistic heavy-particle relative motion is treated classically and the electrons quantally, is well covered in Chapter 4. Diffusion in solids and liquids is described in Chapter 5 where typically the large parameter is the height of the barrier which is overcome by thermal agitation. Hypergeometric functions are introduced in Chapter 1 and Mittag-Leffler functions in Appendix B ISBN,Price 9780387743134 Keyword(s) 1. Atomic, Molecular, Optical and Plasma Physics 2. ATOMS 3.
