J. Thomson, soon after discovering electrons, proposed the raisin-cake model of the atom (“plum-pudding model” actually). ¤ It was known that electrons are much smaller and less massive than atoms. ¨ The first observations that atoms have an inner structure came from beta rays and alpha rays emitted from uranium crystal. ¤ Beta rays are high-speed electrons emitted by uranium. ¤ Alpha rays (now called Alpha particles) consist of helium nuclei, with mass � = 6.64 ×106*7 kg, emitted at high speed from a sample. 29.2 The first nuclear physics experiment 7 ¨ The discovery of large-angle scattering of alpha particles led to the nuclear model of the atom in which negative electrons orbit a small, massive, positive nucleus. 29.2 Using the nuclear model 8 ¨ In the nuclear model, an atom has a nucleus with positively charged protons and neutral neutrons, and negatively charged electrons are orbiting around it. ¨ Protons and neutrons are both much more massive than electrons. ¨ Orbiting electrons are very light and can be easily knocked off, creating a positive ion.

Reduced Mass • So, the relative acceleration of the electron to the proton is just: • Then, the force relation becomes: • And the energy levels become: Reduced Mass • The reduced mass is close to the electron mass, but the 0.0054% difference is measurable in hydrogen and important in the energy levels of muonium (a hydrogen atom with a muon instead of an electron) since the muon mass is 200 times heavier than the electron. • Or, in general: Hydrogen-like atoms • For single electron atoms with more than one proton in the nucleus, we can use the Bohr energy levels with a minor change: e4 → Z2e4. • For instance, for He+ , Uncertainty Revisited • Let’s go back to the wave function for a travelling plane wave: • Notice that we derived an uncertainty relationship between k and x that ended being an uncertainty relation between p and x (since p=ћk): Uncertainty Revisited • Well it turns out that the same relation holds for ω and t, and therefore for E and t: • We see this playing an important role in the lifetime of excited states.

Bohr Model of Hydrogen
Chapter 3 Bohr model of hydrogen Figure 3.1: Democritus The atomic theory of matter has a long history, in some ways all the way back to the ancient Greeks (Democritus - ca. 400 BCE - suggested that all things are composed of indivisible \atoms"). From what we can observe, atoms have certain properties and behaviors, which can be summarized as follows: Atoms are small, with diameters on the order of 0:1 nm. Atoms are stable, they do not spontaneously break apart into smaller pieces or collapse. Atoms contain negatively charged electrons, but are electrically neutral. Atoms emit and absorb electromagnetic radiation. Any successful model of atoms must be capable of describing these observed properties. 1 (a) Isaac Newton (b) Joseph von Fraunhofer (c) Gustav Robert Kirch- hoff 3.1 Atomic spectra Even though the spectral nature of light is present in a rainbow, it was not until 1666 that Isaac Newton showed that white light from the sun is com- posed of a continuum of colors (frequencies). Newton introduced the term \spectrum" to describe this phenomenon. His method to measure the spec- trum of light consisted of a small aperture to define a point source of light, a lens to collimate this into a beam of light, a glass spectrum to disperse the colors and a screen on which to observe the resulting spectrum. This is indeed quite close to a modern spectrometer! Newton's analysis was the beginning of the science of spectroscopy (the study of the frequency distri- bution of light from different sources). The first observation of the discrete nature of emission and absorption from atomic systems was made by Joseph Fraunhofer in 1814.

Particle Nature of Matter
Solved Problems on the Particle Nature of Matter Charles Asman, Adam Monahan and Malcolm McMillan Department of Physics and Astronomy University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Fall 1999; revised 2011 by Malcolm McMillan Given here are solutions to 5 problems on the particle nature of matter. The solutions were used as a learning-tool for students in the introductory undergraduate course Physics 200 Relativity and Quanta given by Malcolm McMillan at UBC during the 1998 and 1999 Winter Sessions. The solutions were prepared in collaboration with Charles Asman and Adam Monaham who were graduate students in the Department of Physics at the time. The problems are from Chapter 3 The Particle Nature of Matter of the course text Modern Physics by Raymond A. Serway, Clement J. Moses and Curt A. Moyer, Saunders College Publishing, 2nd ed., (1997). Coulomb's Constant and the Elementary Charge When solving numerical problems on the particle nature of matter it is useful to note that the product of Coulomb's constant k = 8:9876 × 109 m2= C2 (1) and the square of the elementary charge e = 1:6022 × 10−19 C (2) is ke2 = 1:4400 eV nm = 1:4400 keV pm = 1:4400 MeV fm (3) where eV = 1:6022 × 10−19 J (4) Breakdown of the Rutherford Scattering Formula: Radius of a Nucleus Problem 3.9, page 39 It is observed that α particles with kinetic energies of 13.9 MeV or higher, incident on copper foils, do not obey Rutherford's (sin φ/2)−4 scattering formula. • Use this observation to estimate the radius of the nucleus of a copper atom.

Here, we ﬁnd previously undescribed solutions within the Bohr theory that describe the potential energy curve for the lowest singlet and triplet states of H2 about as well as the early wave mechanical treatment of Heitler and London.

Bohr's Model and Physics of the Atom
CHAPTER 43 BOHR'S MODEL AND PHYSICS OF THE ATOM 43.1 EARLY ATOMIC MODELS Lenard's Suggestion Lenard had noted that cathode rays could pass The idea that all matter is made of very small through materials of small thickness almost indivisible particles is very old. It has taken a long undeviated. If the atoms were solid spheres, most of time, intelligent reasoning and classic experiments to the electrons in the cathode rays would hit them and cover the journey from this idea to the present day would not be able to go ahead in the forward direction. atomic models. Lenard, therefore, suggested in 1903 that the atom We can start our discussion with the mention of must have a lot of empty space in it. He proposed that English scientist Robert Boyle (1627-1691) who the atom is made of electrons and similar tiny particles studied the expansion and compression of air. The fact carrying positive charge. But then, the question was, that air can be compressed or expanded, tells that air why on heating a metal, these tiny positively charged is made of tiny particles with lot of empty space particles were not ejected ? between the particles. When air is compressed, these 1 Rutherford's Model of the Atom particles get closer to each other, reducing the empty space. We mention Robert Boyle here, because, with Thomson's model and Lenard's model, both had him atomism entered a new phase, from mere certain advantages and disadvantages.

In this paper we calculate these energy levels from first principles using density functional theory. The wavefunction of the donor electron's ground state is found to have a form that is similar to an atomic s orbital, with an effective Bohr radius of 1.8 nm. The corresponding binding energy of this state is found to be 41 meV, which is in good agreement with the currently accepted value of 45.59 meV. We also calculate the energies of the excited 1s(T2) and 1s(E) states, finding them to be 32 and 31 meV respectively. These results constitute the first ab initio confirmation of the s manifold energy levels for phosphorus donors in silicon.

Niels Bohr and the Atomic Structure
GENERAL ¨ ARTICLE Niels Bohr and the Atomic Structure M Durga Prasad Niels Bohr developed his model of the atomic structure in 1913 that succeeded in explaining the spectral features of hydrogen atom. In the process, he incorporated some non-classical features such as discrete energy levels for the bound electrons, and quantization of their angular momenta. Introduction MDurgaPrasadisa Professor of Chemistry An atom consists of two interacting subsystems. The first sub- at the University of system is the atomic nucleus, consisting of Z protons and A–Z Hyderabad. His research neutrons, where Z and A are the atomic number and atomic weight interests lie in theoretical respectively, of the concerned atom. The electrons that are part of chemistry. the second subsystem occupy (to zeroth order approximation) discrete energy levels, called the orbitals, according to the Aufbau principle with the restriction that no more than two electrons occupy a given orbital. Such paired electrons must have their spins in opposite direction (Pauli’s exclusion principle). The two subsystems interact through Coulomb attraction that binds the electrons to the nucleus. The nucleons in turn are trapped in the nucleus due to strong interactions. The two forces operate on significantly different scales of length and energy. Consequently, there is a clear-cut demarcation between the nuclear processes such as radioactivity or fission, and atomic processes involving the electrons such as optical spectroscopy or chemical reactivity. This picture of the atom was developed in the period between 1890 and 1928 (see the timeline in Box 1). One of the major figures in this development was Niels Bohr, who introduced most of the terminology that is still in use.

August12,2016 1:27 WSPCProceedings-9.75inx6.5in Antognini˙ICOLS˙3 page 1 1 Muonic atoms and the nuclear structure A. Antognini∗ for the CREMA collaboration Institute for Particle Physics, ETH, 8093 Zurich, Switzerland Laboratory for Particle Physics, Paul Scherrer Institute, 5232 Villigen-PSI, Switzerland ∗E-mail: [email protected] High-precision laser spectroscopy of atomic energy levels enables the measurement of nu- clear properties. Sensitivity to these properties is particularly enhanced in muonic atoms which are bound systems of a muon and a nucleus. Exemplary is the measurement of the proton charge radius from muonic hydrogen performed by the CREMA collaboration which resulted in an order of magnitude more precise charge radius as extracted from other methods but at a variance of 7 standard deviations. Here, we summarize the role of muonic atoms for the extraction of nuclear charge radii, we present the status of the so called “proton charge radius puzzle”, and we sketch how muonic atoms can be used to infer also the magnetic nuclear radii, demonstrating again an interesting interplay between atomic and particle/nuclear physics. Keywords: Proton radius; Muon; Laser spectroscopy, Muonic atoms; Charge and mag- netic radii; Hydrogen; Electron-proton scattering; Hyperfine splitting; Nuclear models. 1. What atomic physics can do for nuclear physics The theory of the energy levels for few electrons systems, which is based on bound- state QED, has an exceptional predictive power that can be systematically improved due to the perturbative nature of the theory itself [1, 2]. On the other side, laser spectroscopy yields spacing between energy levels in these atomic systems so pre- cisely, that even tiny effects related with the nuclear structure already influence several significant digits of these measurements.
