High Precision Relativistic Atomic Structure Calculations Using the Finite Basis Set Approximation

  • H. M. Quiney
Chapter

Abstract

Most relativistic atomic structure calculations use some sort of finite dimensional single-particle basis. The well-known computer program of Desclaux and co-workers (Desclaux, 1975) and the GRASP2 package produced by the Oxford Atomic Theory Group (Dyall et al, 1990) are the direct decendants of earlier non-relativistic programs which employ finite difference methods and whose origins may be found in work pioneered by Hartree and collaborators. The current status of the published finite difference programs and their application to bound-state problems and to electron-ion collision models is reviewed in the lecture by Ian Grant in this volume.
