The NATO Advanced Study Institute (ASI) on "R@lativistic and
Electron Correlation Effects in Molecules and Solids", co-sponsored
by Simon Fraser University (SFU) and the Natural Sciences and
Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) was held Aug 10- 21,
1992 at the University of British Columbia (UBC), Vancouver,
Canada. A total of 90 lecturers and students with backgrounds in
Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics and various interdisciplinary
subjects attended the ASI. In my proposal submitted to NATO for
financial support for this ASI, I pointed out that a NATO ASI on
the effects of relativity in many-electron systems was held ten
years ago, [See G.L. Malli, (ed) Relativistic Effects in Atoms,
Molecules and Solids, Plenum Press, Vol B87, New York, 1983].
Moreover, at a NATO Advanced Research Workshop (ARW) on advanced
methods for molecular electronic structure "an assessment of
state-of the-art of Electron Correlation ... " was carried out [see
C.E. Dykstra, (ed), Advanced Theories and Computational Approaches
to the Electronic Structure of Molecules, D. Reidel Publishin~
Company, Vol C133, Dordrecht, The Netherlands 1984]. However,
during the last five years, it has become clear that the
relativistic and electron correlation effects must be included in
the theoretical treatment of many-electron molecules and solids of
heavy elements (with Z > 70). Molecules and clusters containing
heavy elements are of crucial importance in a number of areas of
Chemistry and Physics such as nuclear fuels, catalysis, surface
science, etc.
