Principles Of Quantum Mechanics As Applied To Chemistry And Chemical Physics Donald D Fitts by Donald D. Fitts instant download after payment.

This text presents a rigorous mathematical account of the principles of quantum mechanics, in particular as applied to chemistry and chemical physics. Applications are used as illustrations of the basic theory.
The first two chapters serve as an introduction to quantum theory, although it is assumed that the reader has been exposed to elementary quantum mechanics as part of an undergraduate physical chemistry or atomic physics course. Following a discussion of wave motion leading to Schroedinger's wave mechanics, the postulates of quantum mechanics are presented along with the essential mathematical concepts and techniques. The postulates are rigorously applied to the harmonic oscillator, angular momentum, the hydrogen atom, the variation method, perturbation theory, and nuclear motion. Modern theoretical concepts such as hermitian operators, Hilbert space, Dirac notation, and ladder operators are introduced and used throughout.This advanced text is appropriate for beginning graduate students in chemistry,
chemical physics, molecular physics, and materials science.
