Relativistic Theory of Inhomogeneous Many-Electron Systems

摘要

Ansaetze for relativistic approximation schemes for inhomogeneous many-electron systems, starting from the full QED Lagrangian, are discussed in detail. A new relativistic mean-field theory - the g-Hartree theory - is introduced. It is shown that mean-fields can be optimally chosen within this framework. Successful tests in atomic physics - relevant problems were solved for the first time - demonstrate the predictive power of this theory. (ERA citation 11:024296)
