Features: This book is one of the "CAS Graduate Teaching Series." It serves as a textbook for the "Advanced Atomic and Molecular Physics" course offered to graduate students in atomic and molecular physics-related fields, building upon the foundations of "Atomic Physics" and "Quantum Mechanics" at the university level. The main content includes the primary research areas of atomic physics, the structure of atomic excited states, the energy level structure of molecules, spectral line broadening and line shapes, laser and synchrotron radiation spectroscopy, electron spectroscopy and electron momentum spectroscopy, as well as other important research methods. This book is suitable for graduate students in atomic and molecular physics programs within physics departments and physical chemistry programs within chemistry departments as a textbook. It can also be referenced by graduate students and teaching and research personnel in related fields. Based on experimental facts, the book emphasizes the explanation of physical concepts and laws, striving for clarity, focus, and logical organization. It not only introduces the fundamental knowledge of atomic and molecular physics but also highlights the cutting-edge experimental research, major advancements, and related technical foundations in atomic and molecular physics over the past 20 years. The main content includes the primary research areas of atomic and molecular physics, the structure of atomic and molecular excited states, the energy level structure of molecules, spectral line broadening and line shapes, laser and synchrotron radiation spectroscopy, electron spectroscopy and electron momentum spectroscopy, as well as other important research methods.
