Details

"Laser Cooling and Trapping" by Harold J. Metcalf, Peter van der Straten is a astronomy book and space science reference focused on Cosmology. Best for students, researchers, and serious astronomy enthusiasts.

The authors discuss the optical techniques used to control atomic motion utilizing beams of light to trap and move atoms, molecules, and even microscopic beads of glass within small regions of free space. This has proven to be a useful research tool for the study of atoms, chemical reactions, and the physical properties of macromolecules such as synthetic polymers and DNA. Metcalf and van der Straten also treat important new topics, such as atomic optics and Bose-Einstein condensation. 110 illus.
