Abstract
Opportunities for investigations in atomic and chemical physics are summarized that may arise as next-generation synchrotron-radiation sources become operational. Recent progress in the study of relativistic effects in atoms is reviewed and some applications to chemistry are discussed. It is pointed out that measurements with highly monochromatic, tunable hard X-rays will make it possible to perform important tests of relativistic phenomena in atoms and molecules.
