Web Pages

Below is a list of relevant web pages. Some of the discussions were based on them.

1. Amber Schilling's page

   One of the info sources for chemical bonds, with lots of good pictures.

2. chemguide.co.uk

   Jim Clarke's UK site with lots of solid info.

3. Citizendium

   The Citizen’s Compendium. Had a rather good write up on the quant­ization of the electro­magnetic field.

4. Elster’s lecture notes

   Professor Elster gives a very helpful historical overview of the meson exchange potentials, (fewblect_2.pdf). She also gives the detailed potentials for scalar and vector mesons that the other references do not, (fewblect_1.pdf).

5. ENSDF data

   The Nuclear Data Sheets are an authori­tative and comprehensive data source on nuclei. The corre­sponding Nuclear Data Sheets policieshave been used repeatedly in this book to decide what conventions to take as standard.

6. Richard P. Feynman: Nobel Prize lecture

   Describes the development of Feynman’s path integral approach to quantum electro­dynamics.

7. Hyperphysics

   Gives simple explan­ations of almost anything in physics. An extensive source of info on chemical bonds and the periodic table.

8. ICC program

   Program to compute internal conversion coefficients.

9. J. Jäckle

   This web site includes a good description of the Peltier and Seebeck effects.

10. R.D. Klauber’s pedagogical quantum field theory

    This web site gives a fully explained description of quantum field theory.

11. Mayer, M. Goeppert: Nobel Prize lecture

    An excellent introduction to the shell model of nuclear physics written for a general audience is found in the lecture.

12. Middlebury College Modern Physics Laboratory Manual

    Gives a very under­standable introduction to NMR with actual examples (item XIX.)

13. NIST data

    Authori­tative values of physical constants from NIST.

14. NuDat 2 database

    Extensive infor­mation about nuclei provided by the National Nuclear Data Center.

15. Purdue chemistry review

    This book’s source for the electro­negativity values.

16. Quantum Exchange

    Lots of stuff.

17. Rainwater, J.: Nobel Prize lecture

    An introduction to distorted nuclei written for a general audience is found in the lecture.

18. Anthony Stone’s Wigner coefficient calculators

    The calculator on this site gives exact values for the Wigner 3j, 6j, and 6j symbols. The 3j symbols are readily converted to Clebsch-Gordan coefficients, {N.13}.

19. David Tong’s notes on quantum field theory

    Very helpful, especially in conjunction with Peskin & Schroeder, [33].

20. T. Tritt

    Thermo­electric materials: principles, structure, properties, and appli­cations. From Encyclopedia of Materials: Science and Technology. Elsevier 2002.

21. TUNL Nuclear Data Evaluation Group

    Extensive data on light nuclei from $A$ $\vphantom0\raisebox{1.5pt}{$=$}$ 3 to 20.

22. University of Michigan

    Invaluable source on the hydrogen molecule and chemical bonds. Have a look at the animated periodic table for actual atom energy levels.

23. Wikipedia

    Probably this book’s primary source of infor­mation on about every loose end, though somewhat uneven. Some great, some confusing, some overly technical.
