Description for Relativistic Quantum Theory of Atoms and Molecules: Theory and Computation hardcover. Offers an account of the theory of relativistic atomic and molecular structure, based on the accepted formalism of bound-state Quantum Electrodynamics. This book is suitable for physicists and chemists who need to understand the theory of atomic and molecular structure and processes, and who wish to apply the theory to practical problems. Series: Springer Series on Atomic, Optical, and Plasma Physics. Num Pages: 824 pages, 46 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PHQ; PHR. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 42. Weight in Grams: 1320.

Relativistic quantum electrodynamics, which describes the electromagneticinteractions of electrons and atomic nuclei, provides the basis for modeling the electronic structure of atoms, molecules and solids and of their interactions with photons and other projectiles. The theory underlying the widely used GRASP relativistic atomic structure program, the DARC electron-atom scattering code and the new BERTHA relativistic molecular structure program is presented in depth, together with computational aspects relevant to practical calculations. Along with an understanding of the physics and mathematics, the reader will gain some idea of how to use these programs to predict energy levels, ionization energies, electron affinities, transition ...

About Ian P. Grant
Professor Grant first became aware of the need to develop a relativistic theory of atomic and molecular structure some 50 years ago in connection with X-ray absorption by heavy metals. In a 1961 paper, he showed that the Dirac-Hartree-Fock equations for atoms could be written in a simple form which has been used in all subsequent atomic calculations. This early ... Read more

Reviews for Relativistic Quantum Theory of Atoms and Molecules: Theory and Computation
From the reviews: "Relativistic Quantum Theory of Atoms and Molecules is a book that should be on the desk of every atomic-physics student and research scientist. Written by a master of the field, it contains a wealth of information about relativistic atomic and molecular structures." (Walter Johnson, Physics Today, January, 2008) “In the text, the presentation ... Read more
