Abstract
Certain features of the interactions between atoms and fluctuating microfields are discussed, emphasizing those statistical properties of the microfield which play an important role in Stark broadening. A model microfield is constructed incorporating the most relevant features, and it is shown that the model microfield theory constitutes a completely unified treatment and is a powerful tool for testing certain standard approximations.Keywords
