Reseña del libro "Elementary Theory Of Nuclear Shell Structure (en Inglés)"
The Elementary Theory of Nuclear Shell Structure is a book written by Maria Goeppert Mayer that explores the fundamental principles of nuclear physics. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the theoretical framework behind the structure of atomic nuclei, with a particular focus on the concept of nuclear shells. Mayer's work builds on the earlier research of physicists such as Niels Bohr and Wolfgang Pauli, as well as her own contributions to the field. She explains the concept of nuclear shells, which refers to the way in which protons and neutrons in a nucleus are arranged in energy levels, much like electrons in an atom. This arrangement has a profound impact on the stability and properties of the nucleus, and is critical to understanding nuclear reactions and the behavior of radioactive isotopes.The book covers a range of topics related to nuclear shell structure, including the properties of magic numbers (specific numbers of protons and neutrons that confer extra stability on a nucleus), the role of spin and angular momentum, and the interactions between nucleons. Mayer also discusses the experimental evidence that supports the theory of nuclear shells, and explores the implications of this theory for our understanding of nuclear physics and its applications.Overall, the Elementary Theory of Nuclear Shell Structure is a seminal work in the field of nuclear physics, and remains an important resource for researchers and students in the field. Mayer's clear and concise writing style makes the book accessible to a wide range of readers, while her deep understanding of the subject matter ensures that it remains a valuable reference for experts in the field.Structure Of Matter Series.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
