Title: Relativistic Quantum Mechanics. Wave Equations Author(s): Walter Greiner Pages: 424 Publisher: Springer; 3rd ed. edition Publication date: 2000 Language: English Format: DJVU ISBN-10: 3540674578 ISBN-13: Description: With a Foreword by D. A. Bromley. Third Edition With 62 Figures and 89 Worked Examples and Problems.
Relativistic Quantum Mechanics. Wave Equations concentrates mainly on the wave equations for spin-0 and spin-1/2 particles. Chapter 1 deals with the Klein-Gordon equation and its properties and applications. The chapters that follow introduce the Dirac equation, investigate its covariance properties and present various approaches to obtaining solutions. Numerous applications are discussed in detail, including the two-center Dirac equation, hole theory, CPT symmetry, Klein's paradox, and relativistic symmetry principles. Chapter 15 presents the relativistic wave equations for higher spin (Proca, Rarita-Schwinger, and Bargmann-Wigner). The extensive presentation of the mathematical tools and the 62 worked examples and problems make this a unique text for an advanced quantum mechanics course.This third edition has been slightly revised to bring the text up-to-date.
