hello, I am studying spontaneous decay of an atom in spherical cavity - but I am not getting any good book on that can anyone help me in this regard.
thanks

The shape of the cavity shouldn't matter for the underlying physics, that just determines which modes the cavity can support.
Atomic spontaneous decay is a natural process in which an unstable atom releases energy in the form of radiation in order to become more stable.
A spherical cavity is a three-dimensional empty space with a curved surface that is shaped like a sphere.
In a spherical cavity, atoms can spontaneously decay by releasing radiation in all directions due to the spherical shape of the cavity.
Studying atomic spontaneous decay in a spherical cavity can help scientists understand the properties and behavior of radiation in a confined space, which has practical applications in fields such as nuclear physics and medical imaging.
No, atomic spontaneous decay is a random process and cannot be controlled or manipulated in a spherical cavity. However, scientists can study and predict the frequency and direction of decay events in a spherical cavity.
