[Wien] WIEN2k workshop / ICAMM 2010 conference

[Rocquefelte]

Dear Colleagues,

The registration to the WIEN2k workshop and to the ICAMM 2010 conference 
is now open. Please point your web browsers to 
http://www.cnrs-imn.fr/ICAMM_2010 to access the online registration form.

*_Scope of the WIEN2k Workshop (July 5-7, 2010):_*

This 17th WIEN2k workshop deals with density functional (DFT) 
calculations using the (full-potential) Augmented Plane Wave plus Local 
Orbitals (APW+lo) method as embodied in the WIEN2k code. WIEN2k is one 
of the most popular electronic structure codes used to perform 
calculations with the Full Potential LAPW method. The workshop is a 
unique opportunity to learn the use, power and limitations of the 
package with the tutoring of the authors and developers of the code. The 
activities will be aimed at graduate students and researchers from 
industry and academia. The only pre-requisite is to have a basic 
knowledge of solid state physics, and chemistry.

*The workshop covers three aspects:*
- Introduction to DFT, APW+lo, and WIEN2k
- Applications using WIEN2k code (and related methods)
- Lectures on and exercises with WIEN2k

_*Scope of the ICAMM Conference (July 8-10, 2010):

*_This conference will be the first of a bi-annual series aimed to 
gather scientists working in the field of theoretical chemistry and 
physics, and who are interested in:
- Using various calculation methods in order to understand the 
properties (optical, electronic, magnetic, ferroelectric, piezoelectric, 
multiferroic, catalytic, photovoltaics) of advanced materials having 
various applications in the field of energy storage and conversion, 
memories, optoelectronics...;
- Codes developments (WIEN2k, VASP, FHI-AIMS, CASTEP, ABINIT, SIESTA, 
Quantum ESPRESSO, OCTOPUS ...) and new implementations in semi-empirical 
and/or first-principles approaches;
- Simulating electronic, optical and vibrational spectroscopies (XAS, 
EELS, XPS, IR/Raman, NMR ...).
