About The Book:

Modern Atomic Physics by Natarajan is a comprehensive guide to the advancements in atomic physics over the last three decades. Designed for students, this book consolidates a wealth of research and knowledge from various sources into one unified text, offering an accessible and detailed overview of contemporary developments in atomic physics.

The book starts with an introduction to metrology and core atomic physics topics, including spontaneous emission of radiation, stimulated transitions, resonance fluorescence, and the properties of gases. It further delves into advanced topics like the cooling and trapping of charged and neutral particles, atomic beam magnetic resonance experiments, and the physics behind frequency combs.

Written by a leading figure in atomic and optical physics, Modern Atomic Physics provides a clear, state-of-the-art account of the subject, while using historical notes and personal anecdotes to make complex topics accessible to non-atomic physics students. This book also demonstrates how atomic physics has been central to the development of many other fields in physics, making it a valuable resource for students and researchers interested in exploring the dynamic field of atomic physics.
