Advances in the Theory of Chemical and Physical Systems is a collection
of 26 selected papers from the scientific presentations made at the 9th
European Workshop on Quantum Systems in Chemistry and Physics (QSCP-IX)
held at Les Houches, France, in September 2004. This volume encompasses
a spectrum of developing topics in which scientists place special
emphasis on theoretical methods in the study of chemical and physical
properties of various systems: Quantum Chemical Methods (including CC
and DFT for excited states) Relativistic and Heavy-Element Systems
(including radiative and nuclear effects)Complexes and Clusters
(including metal complexes and clusters) Complex Systems (including
quasicrystals, nanotubes and proteins).
