Fully relativistic, two-center, coupled-channels calculations for atomic collisions of high-Z ions at arbitrary impact parameters have been performed for the first time. With the use of a set of twenty atomic Dirac basis states, detailed predictions for state-to-state excitation and charge-transfer cross sections in U/sup 92+/+U/sup 91+/ collisions at 1 and 0.5 GeV/u are presented. It is shown that relativistically induced magnetic effects give rise to unusual long-range couplings which affect certain excitation cross sections.
