Michael Dolg, Institute for Theoretical Chemistry, University of Cologne, Germany. Professor Dolg works in the field of relativistic ab initio pseudopotentials, both their development and their applications. He performed the first wavefunction-based relativistic and correlated ab initio calculations on lanthanide compounds, in 1989, and in 1994 he extended his studies to actinides. He is currently working on various topics in lanthanide and actinide computational chemistry and is one of the leading scientists in this field.

Systemvoraussetzungen:
Das Dateiformat PDF zeigt auf jeder Hardware eine Buchseite stets identisch an. Daher ist eine PDF auch für ein komplexes Layout geeignet, wie es bei Lehr- und Fachbüchern verwendet wird (Bilder, Tabellen, Spalten, Fußnoten). Bei kleinen Displays von E-Readern oder Smartphones sind PDF leider eher nervig, weil zu viel Scrollen notwendig ist. Mit Adobe-DRM wird hier ein „harter” Kopierschutz verwendet. Wenn die notwendigen Voraussetzungen nicht vorliegen, können Sie das E-Book leider nicht öffnen. Daher müssen Sie bereits vor dem Download Ihre Lese-Hardware vorbereiten.
Bitte beachten Sie: Wir empfehlen Ihnen unbedingt nach Installation der Lese-Software diese mit Ihrer persönlichen Adobe-ID zu autorisieren!
