Advances in Quantum Chemistry publishes articles and invited
reviews by leading international researchers in quantum chemistry.
Quantum chemistry deals particularly with the electronic structure
of atoms, molecules, and crystalline matter and describes it in
terms of electron wave patterns. It uses physical and chemical
insight, sophisticated mathematics and high-speed computers to
solve the wave equations and achieve its results. Advances
highlights these important, interdisciplinary developments.
Quantum mechanics can describe the detailed structure and behavior
of matter, from electrons, atoms, and molecules, to the whole
universe. It is one of the fields of knowledge that yield
extraordinary precessions, limited only by the computational
resources available. Among these methods is density functional
theory (DFT), which permits one to solve the equations of quantum
mechanics more efficiently than with any related method.
The present volume represents the most comprehensive summary
currently available in density functional theory and its
applications in chemistry from atomic physics to molecular
dynamics. DFT is currently being used by more than fifty percent of
computational chemists.
This volume is based on a symposium in honor of Professor Ingvar
Lindgren. It includes a contribution by Dr. William D. Phillips,
who was awarded the 1997 Nobel Prize in the field of physics for
work on the development of methods to cool and trap atoms with
laser light.
Advances in Quantum Chemistry publishes surveys of current
developments in the rapidly developing field of quantum
chemistry--a field that falls between the historically established
areas of mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology. With invited
reviews written by leading international researchers, each
presenting new results, this quality serial provides a single
vehicle for following progress in this interdisciplinary area.
