Phenomena of the quantum world : theory and concepts Upplaga 1

The purpose of this book is to present fundamental concepts in a way that successively increases the level of abstraction, as well as providing illustrative examples from nanotechnology, atomic physics and nuclear physics. For a thorough understanding, this book should be used in cinjunction with experiments carried out in practical classes. In particular, the first part of the book will most udefully be studied in parallell with courses in nanotechnology. PART 1. Waves in nanostructure -- 1. Particles and waves -- 2.
