Quantum Hyperfine Interactions: Help Needed for Course Notes

AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights concerns about the quality of course notes for a hyperfine interactions class, which are outdated, contain errors, and lack clarity in notation and key concepts. The student, Joris, is seeking recommendations for better resources to understand the subject thoroughly, especially in preparation for presentations on measurement techniques. Suggestions include searching online for lecture materials on hyperfine interactions that match the educational level, using the existing notes as a basis for finding more accurate and comprehensive documents.

Good day all,

I'm taking a course on hyperfine interactions this semester. It is organised in the alternative way that we, the students prepare some part of the course notes (e.g. treat magnetic dipole term, electric quadrupole term etc.).

The problem I have is that the course notes we received are absolutely terrible. (It is a 10 year old manuscript meant to become a book but I can't see that happen, ever)

There are quite a few errors in the derivations and later on a lot of figures are missing. Furthermore there is some notation not explained and the important points aren't stressed in the text.

Since we will present several measuring techniques during the second part I really want to understand every single piece of information in there, something I cannot do with the materials I currently have.

Does anybody have a recommendation for me?

Yours,

Joris

Google "hyperfine interactions lecture" and select from what seems appropriate for the education level you are studying at.
There will be a lot - so read around.

You can still use the bad text as a source of additional search terms to narrow down to the documents you need.

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
