About the course

The program in atomic physics involves work with simple atomic and molecular systems in the gas phase, at surfaces, and in solids. The inherent precision of measurements on simple atomic and molecular systems is used in studies of fundamental physics as well as for certain applications. Experimental work frequently involves the use of Nd:YAG lasers, dye lasers, diode lasers, Ti:sapphire lasers, argon and krypton ion lasers, optical, ultraviolet and infrared spectrometers, microwave and radiofrequency spectrometers, signal processing equipment, and computers and their interfacing to apparatus. Students often need a detailed theoretical understanding of certain aspects of quantum mechanics, group theory, electricity and magnetism, nuclear physics, surface physics, physical chemistry, fluid dynamics, and plasma physics to complete their dissertation work.
