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.

This package includes the Modern Physics with Modern Computational Methods, 3rd Edition eBook in PDF format, and its solutions manual.

Morrison’s Modern Physics with Modern Computational Methods, 3rd Edition (PDF) introduces the concepts that have shaped modern physics and provides an overview of current research in various fields of physics. It is designed as a textbook for a first course in modern physics following an introductory course in physics with calculus. The book begins with a concise account of experiments that led to the development of the new quantum theory, and subsequent chapters delve deeper into the underlying physics.

In this new edition, differential equations are transformed into sets of linear equations or matrix equations using finite difference approximation or the spline collocation method. The book also includes MATLAB programs for solving eigenvalue equations for a particle in a finite well, simple harmonic oscillator, and the radial equation for hydrogen. The MATLAB programs plot the lowest-lying solutions of these problems, and their physical significance is discussed. Each chapter concludes with a description of modern developments.

  • Key topics are made accessible through simple examples and figures.
  • Modern quantum mechanical concepts are introduced systematically and applied consistently throughout the eBook.
  • The eBook features expanded exercises and problems at the end of each chapter, as well as multiple appendices for quick reference.
  • Modern computational methods, including MATLAB programs, are utilized to solve physics equations, and the programs and solutions are described in detail.
  • Foundational topics, such as transition probabilities, crystal structure, reciprocal lattices, and Bloch theorem, are covered to build understanding of applications like lasers and semiconductor devices.
