About The Author

John Morrison

John Morrison

Dr. John Morrison received a Physics BS degree from the University of Santa Clara in California (USA). During his undergraduate years, Johnmajored in English, Physics and Philosophy and served as the editor of the campus literary magazine, the Owl. He received a PhD degree in theoretical Physics from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland and moved on to postdoctoral research at Argonne National Laboratory where he was a member of the Heavy Atom Group. Dr. Morrison then went to Sweden where he received a grant from the Swedish Research Council to build up a research group in theoretical atomic physics at Chalmers Technical University in Goteborg, Sweden.

Working together with Dr. Ingvar Lindgren, he taught a graduate level-courses in theoretical atomic physics for many years. Their teaching lead to the publication of the monograph, Atomic Many-Body Theory, which first appeared as Volume 13 of the Springer Series on Chemical Physics. Returning to the USA, Dr. John Morrison obtained a position in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at University of Louisville where he has taught courses in elementary physics, modern physics, astronomy, and quantum mechanics. In recent years, he has traveled extensively in Latin America and the Middle East maintaining contacts with scientists and mathematicians at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and the Technion University in Haifa. During the Fall semester of 2009, he taught a course on computational physics at Birzeit University near Ramallah on the West Bank, and he has recruited Palestinian students for the graduate program in physics at University of Louisville. He speaks Swedish, English, and Spanish, and he is currently studying Hebrew and Arabic.

The ebook Modern Physics for Scientists and Engineers 2nd edition (in PDF) is intended for a first course in modern physics. Beginning with a brief and focused account of the historical events leading to the formulation of modern quantum theory, later chapters delve into the underlying physics. Streamlined content, chapters on semiconductors, Dirac equation and quantum field theory, as well as a robust pedagogy and ancillary package, including an accompanying website with computer applets, assist science students in learning the essential material. The applets provide a realistic description of the energy levels and wave functions of electrons in crystals and atoms. The Hartree-Fock and ABINIT applets are valuable tools for studying the properties of atoms and semiconductors.

  • Offers multiple appendices to provide quick-reference for students
  • Features expanded exercises and problems at the end of each chapter
  • Clarifies each important concept through the use of a simple example and often an illustration
  • Develops modern quantum mechanical ideas systematically and uses these ideas consistently throughout the ebook
  • Carefully considers fundamental subjects such as transition probabilities, reciprocal lattices, crystal structure, and Bloch theorem which are fundamental to any treatment of lasers and semiconductor devices
