Classical Charged Particle Beam Optics used in the design and operation of all present-day charged particle beam devices, from low energy electron microscopes to high energy particle accelerators, is entirely based on classical mechanics. A question of curiosity is: How is classical charged particle beam optics so successful in practice though the particles of the beam, like electrons, are quantum mechanical? Quantum Mechanics of Charged Particle Beam Optics answers this question with a comprehensive formulation of ‘Quantum Charged Particle Beam Optics’ applicable to any charged particle beam device.
"The volume on Quantum Mechanics of Charged Particle Beam Optics by R. Jagannathan and S.A. Khan is remarkable in that the principal stages of electron optics are derived directly from Dirac's equation and some small corrections (fortunately usually negligible) to the standard theory are found. The book opens with chapters on classical mechanics, quantum mechanics,… The effect of the anomalous magnetic moment is then included and sections are devoted to normal and skew quadrupoles….of interest mainly to specialists but it remains a very valuable addition to the electron optics bookshelf."
