WEHeraeusSeminar Atoms and Molecules in Strong External Fields, which took place April 711 1997 at the Phys zentrum Bad Honnef Germany. The designation strong fields applies to external static magnetic, andor electric fields that are sufficiently intense to cause alterations in the atomic or molecular str ture and dynamics. The specific topics treated are the behavior and properties of atoms in strong static fields, the fundamental aspects and electronic structure of molecules in strong magnetic fields, the dynamics and aspects of chaos in highly excited R berg atoms in external fields, matter in the atmosphere of astrophysical objects white dwarfs, neutron stars, and quantum nanostructures in strong magnetic fields. It is obvious that the elaboration of the corresponding properties in these regimes causes the greatest difficulties, and is incomplete even today. Presentday technology has made it possible for many research groups to study the behavior of matter in strong external fields, both experimentally and theore cally, where the phrase experimentally includes the astronomical observations. derstanding these systems requires the development of modern theories and powerful computational techniques. Interdisciplinary collaborations will be helpful and useful in developing more efficient methods to understand these important systems. Hence the idea was to bring together people from different fields like atomic and molecular physics, theoretical chemistry, astrophysics and all those colleagues interested in aspects of fewbody systems in external fields.
