Abstract

Atomic phenomena are described mainly on the basis of non-relativistic quantum mechanics. Relativistic effects can generally be accounted for in a satisfactory way with perturbative methods. In the 1990s it became increasingly apparent, that a better understanding of the classical dynamics of an atomic system can lead to a deeper appreciation of various features in its observable quantum mechanical properties, see e.g. [RW94, CK97, FE97, BB97, SS98, BR09], Sect. 5.3.

Notes

1.
It is also common usage to express φ _c in terms of the spherical Bessel functions of the second kind , y _l(z) = −n _l(z): φ _c(kr) = −kr y _l(kr), cf. (A.51) in Appendix A.4.
2.
We use the term "momentum representation" when we write the wave functions as functions of momentum p or as functions of wave number k = p∕ħ.
