Structures in Semiclassical Spectra: A Question of Scale

  • Chapter
The Wave-Particle Dualism

Part of the book series: Fundamental Theories of Physics ((FTPH,volume 3))

Abstract

Theories of semiclassical bound state spectra for systems with N freedoms are reviewed, emphasizing the different features occurring on successively finer scales of energy E, measured in terms of h, and attempting to correlate these with whether the underlying classical motion is regular or irregular.
