The General Relativistic Atomic Structure Package—GRASP

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue, The General Relativistic Atomic Structure Package—GRASP,  celebrates achievements to date of the relativistic variational atomic structure methods comprising the basis of GRASP as well as its preparation for general use in atomic physics. Papers related to the theory, computational procedures for variational methods, or benchmark results using GRASP are welcome.

Dear Colleagues,

The year not only marks the 10th anniversary of Atoms, but also the 10th anniversary of the Computational Atomic Structure (CompAS) group https://compas.github.io/  This Special Issue celebrates both these milestones by presenting the General Relativistic Atomic Structure Program  (GRASP), its underlying theory,  computational procedures,  and benchmark results.  A GRASP manual to assist the application of the codes to atomic physics and promote the future development of the code are included.  Submitted papers should:

• Illustrate the achievements of GRASP in atomic physics;
• Highlight modifications of GRASP that improve its performance or extend its physics applications.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Atoms is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1500 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
