Biography/History:

Professor Dr. Eugene Oks received his PhD degree from the Moscow Institute of Science and Technology, and later the highest degree of Doctor of Sciences from the Institute of General Physics of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. Professor Oks conducted research in atomic and molecular physics, plasma physics, laser physics, nonlinear dynamics, and astrophysics. He is the Chief Editor of the journal International Review of Atomic and Molecular Physics.

Summary:

This book is devoted primarily to recent advances in applying the approximate analytical method of the separation of rapid and slow subsystems to other quantum realms. Such systems include hydrogen atoms in a high-frequency laser field, rotator-dipoles in a high-frequency field, one-electron Rydberg quasimolecules in various fields, muonic-electronic helium atoms and the dynamical Stark broadening of spectral lines by plasma ions and electrons. The book also presents novel applications to some unrestricted three-body systems in celestial mechanics, such as a planet orbiting around a binary star or a star-planet-moon system. These results are practically important in the quest for achieving controlled nuclear fusion on Earth, as well as expanding practical applications of lasers and other related fields.

Contents:

1. Introduction

2. Quantum hydrogenic atoms or ions in a high-frequency laser field

3. Classical (Rydberg) hydrogen atoms in a high-frequency laser field : celestial analogies

4. Rydberg states of muonic-electronic helium atoms or helium-like ions

5. A circumbinary planet around a binary star in Einstein's general relativity and in Newton's gravity

6. Particular analytical solution for the unrestricted three-body problem of celestial mechanics : a 'corkscrew' orbit of a planet around a binary star or of a moon around a star-planet system

7. Magnetic stabilization of one-electron Rydberg quasimolecules

8. One-electron Rydberg quasimolecules in a high-frequency laser field

9. Quantum rotator-dipole in a high-frequency monochromatic field : a violation of the gauge invariance caused by the constraint

10. Center-of-mass effects for hydrogen atoms in a non-uniform electric field : applications to magnetic fusion, radiofrequency discharges, and flare stars

11. Advanced treatment of the Stark broadening of hydrogen spectral lines by plasma electrons

12. Advanced treatment of the Stark broadening of hydrogen-like spectral lines by plasma electrons

13. Concluding remarks.
