WORKSHOP ON CORRELATION EFFECTS
IN ELECTRONIC STRUCTURE CALCULATIONS
(17 - 21 June 2002)
An International Workshop on Correlation Effects in Electronic Structure
Calculations will be held at the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), Trieste, from 17 to 21 June 2002. This Bulletin contains the preliminary list of speakers, request for participation form and miscellaneous information.
DIRECTORS:
Vladimir Anisimov (Institute for Metal Physics, Ekaterinburg, Russia)
Gabriel Kotliar (Rutgers University, Piscataway, USA)
LOCAL ORGANIZER:
Giuseppe Santoro (SISSA, Trieste, Italy)
I. PURPOSE AND NATURE
The Workshop will present a pedagogical introduction to the
Dynamical Mean Field Method and how it is applied to investigate the
properties of correlated materials. There will be lectures in the morning,
followed by hands-on training sessions in the afternoon. The programme will
cover orbital based electronic structure methods, calculations of U's,
dynamical mean field equations and its solution via perturbative methods and
quantum Montecarlo techniques. It will conclude with a small conference.
II. PRELIMINARY LIST OF LECTURERS
V. Anisimov (Ekaterinburg)
G. Kotliar (Rutgers )
M. Rozenberg (Buenos Aires)
A. Lichtenstein (Nijmegen)
S. Savrasova (NJIT)
II. PARTICIPATION
The Workshop is open to young research workers from all countries that are members of the United Nations, UNESCO or IAEA. One of the main purposes of the Centre is to help research workers from developing countries; however scientists from developed countries are also strongly encouraged to attend.
Participants should preferably have completed several years of study and research after a first degree. As the Workshop will be conducted in English, participants should have an adequate working knowledge of that language. Applications from graduate students about to finish their PhD, fresh post-docs and young, active faculty members are encouraged.
As a rule, travel and subsistence expenses of the participants are borne by the home institution. However, some funds are available which permit the Centre to grant a subsistence allowance to a limited number of people from developing countries who will be selected by the Organizers. As scarcity of funds allows travel to be granted only in a few exceptional cases, every effort should be made by candidates to secure support for their fares (or at least partial fare) by their home country. Such financial support is available only to those attending the entire Workshop.
Scientists from developed countries are very welcome to join on their own funds.
There is no registration fee for attending the Workshop.
Deadline for the RECEIPT of request for participation form:
31 March 2002
Candidates should complete and sign the attached "Request for
Participation" form (also obtainable via e-mail: smr1412@ictp.trieste.it, using as subject "get bulletin", or via WWW Server: http://www.ictp.trieste.it/), and send it to:
