Introduction to Relativistic Quantum Chemistry

by Kenneth G. Dyall, Knut Faegri Jr.

This book introduces relativistic methods in quantum chemistry to non-experts and students. Its five sections cover classically relativity background; the Dirac question; four component methods, including symmetry, correlation, and properties; approximate methods, including perturbation theory, transformed Hamiltonians, regular approximations, matrix approximations, and pseudo potential methods; and an overview of relativistic effects on bonding.
