Phys. Rev. A 69, 052502 (2004) [10 pages]Long-wavelength quantum electrodynamicsReceived 22 December 2003; published 11 May 2004 The description of few electron atoms interacting with a slowly varying electromagnetic field including relativistic effects is analyzed. Simple and transparent derivations of relativistic and radiative corrections to various atomic properties such as magnetic moments, radiative decay rates, and shielding of the electric dipole moment are presented. © 2004 The American Physical Society URL:
