Description

This book is an introduction to the quantum mechanics of the angular momentum. After a description of the operators of spin and orbital angular momentum and their commutation relations the coupling of angular momenta is discussed. Then irreducible tensor operators are considered. Thereafter spherical harmonics are introduced together with correlation functions. In this connection the spherical harmonics is described. Thereafter the density matrix is considered with regards to polarization. Finally applications in scattering theory and many-body problems are considered. (HSI)

Abstract (German)

Dieses Buch ist eine Einfuehrung in die Quantenmechanik des Drehimpulses. Nach einer Beschreibung der Operatoren von Spin und Bahndrehimpuls und ihren Vertauschungsrelationen wird die Kopplung von Drehimpulsen diskutiert. Dann werden irreduzible Tensoroperatoren betrachtet. Danach werden Kugelfunktionen eingefuehrt zusammen mit Korrelationsfunktionen. In diesem Zusammenhang wird die Entwicklung nach Kugelfunktionen beschrieben. Danach wird die Dichtematrix betrachtet unter Beruecksichtigung von Polarisation. Schliesslich werden Anwendungen in Streutheorie und Vielteilchenproblemen betrachtet. (HSI)
