Pugnochiuso, Vieste -- 23-27 September 2008
Registration Deadline : 4 July 2008
Abstract submission Deadline : 20 July 2008
The aim of this workshop is to assess the present status, the latest achievements and future perspectives of ab-initio theories for the calculation of excitations, excited state properties and spectroscopy in condensed matter and nanostructures, systems with increasing complexity, and materials of technological and biological interest.
The workshop belongs to a series of annual events organized by the Nanoquanta European Network of Excellence and with the participation of the coordinator of the American projects FEFF and CSMN.
The workshop covers the theoretical approaches ("GW-Approximation", "Bethe-Salpeter-Equation",Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory), its numerical implementations, and application to systems of technological interest. In close relation to electronic excitations, quantum transport, i.e., electron transport through molecules and nanostructures, has become an important topic of our annual workshop. The workshop brings together theory and code developers with code users and with experimentalists who seek an understanding of their spectra with the help of ab-initio calculations.
The workshop series has its origin in the NANOQUANTA European Network of Excellence and preceeding European Research and Training Networks dealing with electronic excitations. In the future, it will become the annual workshop of the European Theoretical Spectroscopy Facility (ETSF).
Important: for the SC members, the dates are 21-28 September 2008.
